Impact Framework

This practice brief describes the assessment project undertaken by the Sheridan Libraries at Johns Hopkins University as part of the library’s participation in ARL’s Research Library Impact Framework initiative to address the question “(How) do the library’s special collections specifically support and promote teaching, learning, and research?” The research team investigated how the Freshman Fellows experience impacted the fellows’ studies and co-curricular activities at the university. Freshmen Fellows, established in 2016, is a signature opportunity to expose students to primary-source collections early in their college career by pairing four fellows with four curators on individual research projects. The program graduated its first cohort of fellows in spring 2020. The brief includes a semi-structured interview guide, program guidelines, and a primary research rubric.

The Impact

As part of ARL’s Research Library Impact Framework initiative, the University of Washington (UW) Libraries explored UW faculty and postdoctoral researcher needs for understanding and communicating the impact of their work, with a focus on researchers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) and health sciences fields. The project was designed to understand the challenges researchers face in this area, identify how participants in these fields define and measure impact, and explore their priorities for research-impact support. The project team conducted a survey and follow-up interviews to investigate these questions. This research report presents the project team’s methodology, findings, and recommendations for future research.

Impact Framework

In Chapter 9, the author discusses the causal impact framework, an approach to epidemiologic methods that can be used to move from internally valid estimates to externally valid estimates to valid estimates of the effects of population interventions. Such work is essential if epidemiologists want the results of their experimental or observational studies to directly inform public health policy decisions. The bulk of this chapter outlines and describes an approach to epidemiologic methods relevant to implementation science. The author summarizes the entire book by briefly addressing the lessons of the previous chapters for the so-called hierarchy of evidence (hierarchy of study designs).

The Impact

Abstract There is an increasing emphasis on the importance of research having an impact on policy and practice. This can be more difficult to evidence in intellectual disability services because of the wide range of stakeholders involved. We evaluated whether an impact questionnaire covering: knowledge production, capacity building, informing policy and practice, social and economic benefits could successfully be used to evaluate the impact of research into and use of two screening questionnaires: the Learning Disability Screening Questionnaire (LDSQ) and Child and Adolescent Intellectual Disability Screening Questionnaire (CAIDS-Q). We conducted an online search for published peer reviewed and grey literature, and Internet resources that referenced LDSQ and/or CAIDS-Q. The resultant literature and resources were assessed for relevance and organized according to the categories outlined in the impact questionnaire. Evidence was found for all the areas of impact, with the largest body of evidence being in relation to informing policy and practice and social benefits and the least for economic benefits. The impact questionnaire provided the basis for a comprehensive and useful evaluative framework to assess impact, although there was some overlap between the different categories. The process of using it highlighted some wider issues to consider when attempting to evaluate impact. The results indicated that the research underpinning the LDSQ and CAIDS-Q had resulted in significant, generally positive, and wide-reaching impact on policy and practice in intellectual disability and other services, resulting in a number of positive outcomes.

Purpose Museums and academics collaborating to create knowledge and learning opportunities is a current innovative strand of museum theory and practice. Working together across boundaries, incorporating a range of communication tools both inside and outside of the exhibition, the objective is to make the past more accessible to adults and children alike. The paper reflects the authors’ respective recent experiences of presenting alternative perspectives and interpretations on history that mattered, namely, a unique exhibition and publication entitled Recovery: Women’s Overseas Service in World War One. The authors offer a number of “signposts” for museums and academics to consider ahead of embarking on collaborative projects. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach Theorising and reflecting on the research and curation of a public history museum exhibition that included high levels of community engagement. Findings The authors offer a number of “signposts” for museums and academics to consider ahead of embarking on collaborative projects utilising a collective impact framework and argue that these “signposts” are likely pre-requisites for successful museum-academic partnerships. Originality/value Successful partnerships and collaborations between the museum and the tertiary sector do not happen through goodwill and shared philosophies alone. This paper reflects the authors’ respective recent experiences of presenting alternative perspectives and interpretations on history that mattered, namely, a unique exhibition and publication entitled Recovery: Women’s Overseas Service in World War One.

The Impact

Abstract Background The optimal use of data and evidence from national health information systems is paramount in public health. However, current tools to evaluate health information systems focus on data quality and availability rather than measuring how data are used by key stakeholders. This limits capacity to monitor the impact of evidence on health care management and health policy making. Methods Based on an extensive literature review we developed a new model, the Health Information (HI)-Impact framework, to monitor the impact of health information in health policy and practice. We further conducted a web-based Delphi survey between February and April 2019 among European public health professionals working in health policy, health care, research, and health monitoring to develop the HI-Impact Index. Results In the HI-Impact framework, four domains are essential for mapping public health data availability, dissemination, and use: (1) Health Information and Evidence Quality, (2) Health Information System Responsiveness, (3) Stakeholder Engagement, and (4) Knowledge Integration. This last domain has a broader reach on the determinants of health and reflects the use of evidence by community partners and across sectors. In the DELPHI survey, 127 experts from 38 European countries selected 30 criteria to integrate in the HI-Impact Index. This tool could be used by European public health agencies to monitor the impact of their information products, and inform national strategies for evidence-based public health. Conclusions It is crucial for routine health information systems to create a culture of accountability in the use of evidence. Data on the determinants and consequences of ill-health as well as stakeholder engagement in leveraging evidence for intervention are explicit points to consider for a full quality assessment of national health information systems, and a sustainable impact on health outcomes.
