What does RIU mean in RESEARCH

Research Into Use (RIU) is an international organization that works to bridge the gap between research and its practical use. We aim to provide evidence-based, user-friendly tools to help address global challenges through our programmes, advocacy and partnerships. We work with organizations and individuals in both the research and development communities, to ensure that research is accessible, actionable and applied for the benefit of all.

You can get involved with RIU through a variety of ways! You can become a member of our organisation or join one of our activities. You can also contribute to our cause by signing up as a volunteer or supporting us with a donation. Alternatively, you can keep updated on our activities through social media channels and newsletters.

RIU uses evidence-based research to generate independent insights into policymaking, getting them into the hands of decision makers faster than ever before. Our team conducts original analyses focused on informing stakeholders about policies that drive sustainable change at all levels. Through these insights we identify potential solutions which are shared via traditional and online networks to improve practices and reduce risks for the countries concerned.

At RIU we understand that researchers need better ways of sharing their findings in order for knowledge to be used for positive outcomes in society. Therefore, we provide data collection platforms as well as webinars, publications and events aimed at connecting researchers to key policymakers. By doing so we help bridge the gap between science and society ensuring that their work reaches those who can benefit from it most.

At RIU we have strong partnerships with governments, research institutions, NGOs, private sector companies and community based organisations around the world. These strategic collaborations allow us to carry out evidence-based projects while increasing access to reliable information on various topics related to global development challenges.

At RIU we offer three types of support — technical assistance, capacity building training services, and consulting services — which are tailored according to each organisation's needs. Our expertise ranges from topics such as project management, monitoring & evaluation techniques, communications strategy design & execution through primary data analysis & report writing.
