Table 7. Recommendations for Boundary Organizations and Knowledge Brokers.

Recommendations	Why this is important
Invest in building awareness of and buy-in for the use of modeled evidence	•   When decision-makers understand the value of using modeled evidence, they are more likely to draw on it to inform policy and practice     •   At a basic level, decision-makers should understand when and why they should use modeled evidence, how to frame a research question, and how to use the evidence in informing policy or recommendations
Create spaces to review and debate evidence, iterate on models, discuss implications for a decision process	•   These spaces are an opportunity to bring different voices to the table and ensure varying perspectives are heard in efforts to make sense of the evidence     •   When decision-makers and researchers to come together in a structured and routine way, the more likely their communication will improve – helping to increase decision-maker understanding of models and modeler awareness of decision-maker needs
Guide and support modelers in communicating research outputs in clear and easy-to-understand formats such as policy briefs, PowerPoint presentations, checklists, and fact sheets	•   Decision-makers are not likely to make use of modeled evidence they do not understand
