- The study assesses the effectiveness and challenges of Evidence Centers (NEvs) in Brazil's Evidence-Informed Policy Network (EVIPNet) through a mixed methods approach, including a comprehensive questionnaire for NEv coordinators.
- Findings indicate a strong capacity for acquiring and assessing evidence among NEvs, but a significant gap in adapting and applying that evidence.
- Key barriers to implementation were identified, including financial constraints, integration within networks, institutional demand, adaptive capacity, and the need for improved communication of research findings to local stakeholders.
