“…Using social media for information sharing reveals an interesting shift towards more informal means of knowledge exchange. Researchers in particular are said to benefit from this because social networking platforms allow for rapid and reactive knowledge exchange; and this can encourage engagement, discussion and feedback about a research topic (Murdock et al, 2013;Fahlberg, 2015).…”

“…The Research Excellence Framework (REF) governs that researchers must consider how to engage with users, support pathways to impact and thus drive social and public benefit from M a n u s c r i p t 17 research. This is a crucial agenda for all universities (McKenna, 2015;Biswas and Kirchherr, 2015;Murdock, et al, 2013;McKenna, 2012).…”

“…Staff costs will constitute a significant portion of CAREN's funding footprint. There is a need for staff with different skills including a network manager for ongoing oversight and to maintain CAREN's sustainability, coherence, effectiveness and value for money (Murdock et al 2013). Other costs are likely to relate to bespoke IT software, rights clearances, broadband usage, supporting the consultation phase, fees for 'experts'…”

Although there is now an extensive international body of research and evidence about care and carers it is fragmented and disparate. Without synthesis, organisation and accessibility it cannot effectively inform and improve policy and practice with carers. This paper makes the case for an accessible carer-related research and evidence resource for stakeholders in carer-related domains across policy, practice, research to address this systemic deficit in the carers field. The Carer-related Knowledge Exchange Network (CAREN) has recently been established in recognition of this case. This timely resource is a freely accessible knowledge exchange network that provides relevant stakeholders (for example, carers, commissioners, policymakers, practitioners, employers, third sector organisations, researchers and research funders) with access to a regularly updated and coherent database of carer-related research and evidence; offers interactive opportunities to exchange and generate knowledge; facilitates links and information sharing; and disseminates innovative practice, interventions and services. CAREN’s development, dimensions and functionality are outlined. In addition, the paper identifies and explores the challenges of sustaining CAREN and its further development – namely long-term funding and ensuring that it meets the needs of its many and diverse users. It is anticipated that CAREN will make a significant contribution to research, policy development and service and practice improvement with carers, and will enhance the effectiveness of its stakeholders’ activities. The realisation of CAREN’s potential will ensure that it can, and continues to, make a significant, sustained and cost-effective contribution to addressing a critical global issue of the 21st century.<br />key messagesKey stakeholders need accessible, carer–related research and evidence .<br />Lack of synthesis of and knowledge exchange around carer–related research and evidence is a systemic deficit.<br />The ‘Carer–related research and evidence exchange network’ (CAREN) addresses this deficit.Realising CAREN’s potential will enhance the relationship between carer-related knowledge and policy and practice.

“…While effective knowledge transfer depends significantly on timing and context (Murdock et al 2013), certain practices have been shown to facilitate the research-to-policy process. For example, the involvement of research users from the beginning of a research project, along with the coproduction of knowledge during the project, increases research utilization (Murdock et al 2013;Patton and Blaine 2001). López Cerezo and González García (1996) argue that expert knowledge by itself is not sufficient for exerting policy influence because this knowledge is constrained by social, political and economic factors.…”

Cooperative Extension can better frame its value by emphasizing policy relationships

C ooperative Extension (Extension) prides itself on its technical expertise and its ability to disseminate research-based information; this is the basis of the story we often tell one another, as well as our funding partners, to justify our contribution to society (Peters et al. 2010; Peters and Franz 2012). Yet long-term disinvestment in the Extension system, along with public skepticism of science, threatens the system's ability to deliver the expertise and research-based information that it promises. In 1990, over 475 academics-both specialists and advisors-served California and its 58 counties through UC Cooperative Extension (UCCE). Today, that figure is approximately 280, representing a decline of about 40%. In response, Extension leaders have sought ways to more compellingly demonstrate Extension's public value (Franz 2011). Such efforts often rely on a familiar narrative framework, one that emphasizes the value of detached, objective science-and the ability of such science to shape evidencebased policy and practice. Against this backdrop, our research addresses two pivotal questions: Does this
