This resource for practitioners in policymaking and research unites international contributors in public health, public policy, science research, ethics, and health science. Under the umbrella of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), a term used by the European Unions Framework Programmes, the guide provides advice for ethically using evidence and research in developing policy. They explain how to achieve evidence-informed policymaking and how to make sure that the research and evidence used to formulate policy were generated ethically. The book starts with a section on fundamentals of evidence and ethical dimensions of policymaking. Part 2 looks at the role of ethical evidence in specific policy domains including genetically modified foods, the artificial intelligence industry, cardiovascular disease, and conducting research in crisis situations. Part 3 provides case studies on issues such as the role of academic publishers in bringing researchers and policymakers together. The book is inspired by the EU-funded PRO-RES project of the European Science Foundation. Policy Press is an imprint of Bristol University Press.
