Implementation of an Evaluation Model for Evaluating Complex Health Research ...aihs
This document summarizes a presentation about implementing an evaluation model for complex health research outcomes. The organization Alberta Innovates Health Solutions evaluated 242 health research grants from 2004-2008 using the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS) evaluation model. A retrospective data mining study found the CAHS model was useful for categorizing impacts and identifying lessons learned. Key lessons included the need to link research activities to outcomes and tell the evaluation story both quantitatively and qualitatively. The evaluation provided evidence that the CAHS model can effectively measure research impacts across scientific and social domains.
