Often, when scientists do research around a specific societal challenge, they hope their work will help solve that larger problem.

Key Points: 
  • Often, when scientists do research around a specific societal challenge, they hope their work will help solve that larger problem.
  • Yet translating findings into long-lasting, community-driven solutions is much harder than most expect.
  • Issues like climate change, renewable energy, public health and migration are complex, making direct solutions challenging to develop and implement.

Defining use-inspired research

  • A framework called use-inspired research and engagement, or UIRE, acknowledges this fact.
  • In use-inspired research, the potential applications of findings for society shape the directions of exploration.
  • Use-inspired research expands on translational research, prioritizing building connections between practitioners and communities.
  • In the U.S., the passage of the CHIPS and Science Act in 2022 further codified use-inspired research.

Producing science in partnership

  • Together, these teams apply the results and develop products, implement behavior changes, or further inform community decision-making.
  • For example, a large hospital, an academic organization and several nonprofits may partner together to explore issues affecting health care accessibility in the region.
  • These groups can then collaborate further to develop specific programs, such as educational initiatives and enhanced health care services.
  • They can tailor these to the needs of the community they serve.
  • Use-inspired research matters because it looks at all the different issues facing a community holistically and keeps them in mind when investigating potential solutions.
  • UIRE is not a substitute for basic, foundational research, which explores new questions to fundamentally understand a topic.

Harnessing early-career engagement

  • They also focus on making the findings accessible to those outside academia.
  • To craft necessary solutions for complex societal problems, institutions will need to continue backing traditional scholars who excel at pure basic research.
  • Creating opportunities for the ongoing involvement of young people will seed a vibrant future for use-inspired research and engagement.
