The Indonesia PEER Forum 2017: Apply the Science was held at the headquarters of RISTEK-DIKTI in Jakarta, Indonesia, from August 1-3, 2017. The Forum counted over 130 PEER PIs, team members, NGO and private sector representatives, and national and international government officials in attendance and focused on how the evidence generated by PEER researchers can help policymakers make better informed decisions. This focus was prominent in the speaker selection as talks from USAID staff, Indonesian government officials, and academic experts focused on high-priority science- and health-related topics where evidence and recommendations are most needed. It was also a great chance for PEER PIs who have completed or nearing the end their projects to share their successes and failures and for those PIs just starting out to learn and share their own insights and questions. Senior policy makers were in attendance to provide the viewpoint of those receiving data from the scientific community and strategies that improved the chances of science-based policy implementation. PIs then met in subject-matter working groups to explore developments in their specific fields, policy successes, and share their ongoing work with each other.
