"We ultimately could benefit immensely from a world in which there is comprehensive evidence synthesis on every major social problem, and that is continuously updated and available to everyone," says Will Moy.
"There is huge demand from policymakers for such syntheses," says Jen Gold, but adds that "supply doesn't match it." Thus, there is a critical need for solutions.
Evidence syntheses are 'everything the world knows about how to solve an important problem in one place,' explains Will Moy, emphasizing their importance in policymaking.
Funders have historically spent peanuts on synthesizing knowledge compared with the billions they spend on new research, suggesting a significant imbalance in funding priorities.
