abstract = "In February 2016, the Minister of Health decided to increase the use of research findings in improving the quality of the national health policy and planning. The Ministry of Health has instructed the National Institute of Health Research and Development or NIHRD to play a stronger role of monitoring and evaluating all health programs, because {"}their opinion and research findings should be the basis for changes in national health policies and planning{"}. Compared to the past, the Ministry of Health has increased the research budget for evidence-based research tremendously. However, there is a gap between the information needs of program and policy-makers and the information offered by researchers. A close dialogue is needed between the users (program managers, policy makers and planners) and the suppliers (researchers and evaluators) to ensure that the evidence-based supplied by research is useful for programs, planning and health policy.",

note = "Funding Information: Between 2013 and 2017, under joint funding from Indonesian and Australian Governments, the Knowledge Sector Initiative (KSI) project managed core grants for organizational development, quality research, and research communication. The focus was the attainment of 2015-2019 Development Plan (Rencana Strategi) objectives. The KSI provided technical assistance on improving research capacity including activities known as knowledge demand and use, knowledge intermediation (communicating evidence-informed-advocacy and reporting), and knowledge sector to lessen systemic barriers and foster private sector participation in research. At national level, KSI support is directed to accelerate the mobilization and systematization of data. In research communication, the National Institute of Health Research and Development researchers received trainings in development of policy briefs, support for peer review of journal articles and research proposal writing, and the use of multimedia. By 2015, the institute has successfully produced 24 policy briefs covering selected research results, complete with public-friendly infographics and illustrations.1 Publisher Copyright: Copyright {\textcopyright} 2017, Kesmas: National Public Health Journal.",
