However, in the light of COVID-19, it is very clear that the delays caused by standard workflows, which are both appropriately rigorous and inappropriately bureaucratic, are slowing the translation of new research evidence into practice, and that lives are being lost in those lost days, weeks and months. The real challenge will be converting these acute 'evidence hunger pangs' into an ongoing appetite in our governments, health systems and others to fund and use research evidence to guide decision-making beyond the pandemic. This crucible of COVID-19 highlights the fundamental need to institutionalize the use of research evidence in policy decisions at a time of crisis, and beyond.	./cache/cord-324356-v0bqi5c2.txt	./txt/cord-324356-v0bqi5c2.txt
