Description
Summary:<p class="first" id="d2750e96"> This commentary provides a first-hand account of a year-long collaborative academic–policy synthesis project – Exploring Inequalities: Igniting Research to Better Inform UK Policy – between University College London (UCL) and the Resolution Foundation. We brought together leading experts from over fifty organizations, convened six roundtables and conducted additional in-depth interviews. This collaboration resulted in a series of action notes and a final report, <i>Structurally Unsound</i> ( <a class="xref-link" href="#r7">Morris et al., 2019</a>). By reflecting on the ‘nuts and bolts’ of <i>doing</i> this type of project, we reveal the hidden realities of knowledge exchange and open up new possibilities for understanding successes and failures for future projects of this kind. </p>
