What GARC can deliver
Translate complex research into useful institutional formats.
Potential outputs
Evidence briefs, events, research communication
Who it is for
Public institutions, universities, research organizations, foundations and specialist organizations with a defined evidence or research need.
Method and governance
Each engagement begins with a defined question and scope. Appropriate methods, source transparency, quality review, data protection and required ethics approvals are agreed before implementation.

View pageSERVICE APPROACH
From question to deliverable
The scope and proposed output are agreed before research begins. The work is presented as a capability, not a claim of a completed GARC commission.
Traceable communication
Briefs and sessions should connect every central statement to its source, explain uncertainty and separate evidence from institutional interpretation.
Networks that produce work
A purposeful scientific network can convene a defined question, shared method, review process and output rather than relying only on events or membership lists.
WORKFLOW
How an engagement is governed
The details vary by project, but the decision gates remain explicit.
Scope and proposal
Agree the question, audience, deliverables, timeline, access needs and review responsibilities in writing.
Ethics, data and rights
Assess whether human-participant approval is needed, define data handling and agree authorship, intellectual property and publication conditions.
Review and use
Review the draft for accuracy, limitations and accessibility before release; agree how the output will inform a real decision or next research step.
SCOPING EXAMPLE
Example scoping question
A practical way to define the engagement before work begins.
A starting question
Who needs to act on the evidence, what decision do they face, and what format will preserve meaning and limitations?
A possible output package
Audience map, key messages, source-linked brief, event or exchange format and review record.
What is agreed at the outset
The parties agree the final scope, method, review, responsibilities, timeline and permitted use before any commitment is described as an active GARC project.
