This paper explores the territory between the evidence-based policymaking (EBPM) agenda and the research impact agenda. Although these two related agendas are typically considered in isolation, this paper provides an analysis dedicated to how they interact. It begins with a discussion outlining the origins of research impact and the use of evidence in policymaking. This is followed by an overview of the Australian policy context that shapes academic research and its impact. We argue that although the relationship between EBPM and research impact can be viewed as a symbiotic one, there are some tensions that arise in practice. Such difficulties can be further exacerbated when using research to inform policy in times of crisis, as illustrated by governing during the COVID-19 pandemic. The insights provided contribute to our understanding of impact and are of value to policymakers and academic researchers as they help clarify the changing context within which they operate.

循证政策满足研究影响的地方

本文探讨了循证决策 (EBPM) 议程和研究影响议程之间的领域。尽管这两个相关的议程通常是孤立考虑的，但本文提供了专门针对它们如何相互作用的分析。它首先讨论概述研究影响的起源和在决策中使用证据。随后概述了影响学术研究及其影响的澳大利亚政策背景。我们认为，虽然 EBPM 与研究影响之间的关系可以被视为一种共生关系，但在实践中会出现一些紧张关系。如 COVID-19 大流行期间的治理所示，在危机时期利用研究为政策提供信息时，这些困难可能会进一步加剧。
