Education, communication, social healthcare initiatives, inclusive democracy, and daily life are all influenced by public policy. However, there is a notable absence of evidence-based research while framing policies. Based on the Publishing and the Pause paradigm, a great deal of scholarly work circulates, yet minimal of it is actually applied in practice.
Closing this gap is the core purpose of the platform, built on the original Siegel ideas-based model of the Scholars Strategy Network (SSN). It streamlines the often complex policy process by transforming evidence-based research into clear, actionable insights for real-world decision-making.
Intervention by Mission Within
Scholars.sg unites cross-disciplinary researchers from colleges and universities, whose commitment to public impact is a core value. It focuses on providing research, dispersing evidence-based ideas, and shifting the center of policy, journalism, and advocacy within the community to enable them to control the Foundation of Society.
By encouraging scholars to bypass the academic world, Scholars.sg facilitates the deployment of knowledge to real-world issues that stems from research, rather than allowing the work to be wasted.
Transforming Policy into Evidence
At the core of Scholars is the belief in the idea that there is no democracy without the unshackled dissemination of information. Not only should there be research, but it should also be the foundation of communication, the center of policy, and the driving force of positive impact.
This partnership civic engagement has meaning and has depth because it is more than plain engagement practice and has lasting engagement and connection.
Impact of Research on the Public
Scholars supports and partners with researchers and guides them on how to effectively share their research through new programs and strategic initiatives aimed at promoting the integration of theory and practice.
To support collaboration and to facilitate regional integration, scholars are grouped to tackle priority policy areas, including but not limited to, education, healthcare, social mobility, and democratic governance. The platform also encourages media engagement advocacy, where researchers provide and promote public advocacy.
Knowledge is the Foundation of Democracy
Democratic systems are strengthened, and decision making becomes with research. Democracies are made more efficient and open with evidence, and this platform bridges scholars with decision makers and the public in the democratic process.
This methodology enables Scholars.sg to empower researchers to:
- Create constructive and sustainable connections with policymakers
- Present evidence based findings that are practical and devoid of political affiliations
- Encourage democracy to be informed and exercised with responsibility
A democracy should be based on evidence, clear and concise information to promote trust and a common understanding.
Translating Research for Public Good
At Scholars.sg, we help academics turn their findings into actionable insights, and still preserve the work’s intellectual value. Offering communication training and public engagement support. This means that the platform helps researchers inspire journalists, civic leaders, and communities to raise awareness and take action.
In this case, the aim is not about simplifying research, but about making it usable, to pull from the theory and make it practice.
A Large Cohort of Involved Scholars
Scholars.sg is expanding and maturing into a joint research collaboration and support network for researchers and scholars at all career stages from students to seasoned faculty. It is a place where participants can perform positive academic citizenship and civic engagement beyond the classroom and the journal, and shape the policies that govern the society.
By fostering action from knowledge, evidence-based policies can and should steer democracy and public policy. This is what the Scholars.sg institutional platform sustains and promotes.
