Why is it so had to implement research evidence for policy reform? Is there a "research to relevance gap"?

The Australian Institute of Family Studies is committed to creating and communicating knowledge to accelerate positive outcomes for families and society.

The AIFS Conference 2016 will draw key thinkers, researchers, policy-makers, and practitioners from across different sectors and disciplines, including education, health, and social sciences. Together we will apply interdisciplinary expertise and forge new solutions to complex problems.
