Canada, and Alberta in particular, are becoming world leaders in the new and rapidly growing science of health research impact assessment (HRIA). HRIA goes beyond measuring outputs to capture the outcomes and broader benefits that result from health research.
Practise making perfect: The Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS) Impact Framework Forum, held October 19, 2015 in Edmonton, was an inaugural event that brought together nearly 70 individuals representing funders, researchers, health services professionals, not-for-profit representatives and industry partners. The purpose of the forum was to convene the diverse groups to learn from each other about how the CAHS Impact Framework is generating results, how others are using it in practice, and to explore how it can be used even more effectively and broadly moving forward.
It is fitting that the forum was presented by AIHS in partnership with the National Alliance of Provincial Health Research Organizations (NAPHRO), a perfect fit for a pan-Canadian initiative aimed at broad societal impacts. -
