It has been shown to improve health, create jobs, add to our knowledge, and foster new collaborations. Despite the complexity of modern research, many of the metrics used to evaluate the impacts of research still focus on the traditional, often academic, part of the research pathway, covering areas such as the amount of grant funding received and the number of peer-reviewed publications. In response to increasing expectations of accountability and transparency, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), in collaboration with RAND Europe, undertook a project to help communicate the wider value of biomedical research. The initiative developed resources to support academic medical centers in evaluating the outcomes and impacts of their research using approaches relevant to various stakeholders, including patients, providers, administrators, and legislators. This report presents 100 ideas for metrics that can be used assess and communicate the value of biomedical research. The list is not comprehensive, and the metrics are not fully developed, but they should serve to stimulate and broaden thinking about how academic medical centers can communicate the value of their research to a broad range of stakeholders."--Publisher's description.One hundred metrics to assess and communicate the value of biomedical researchBiomedical Researchstatistics & numerical dataProgram EvaluationCost-Benefit AnalysisBiomedical Researchstatistics & numerical data.Program Evaluation.Cost-Benefit Analysis.Guthrie Susan1982-998875Krapels Joachim(Biomedical Research)Lichten Catherine(Biomedical Research)Wooding StevenMMU996322950103316100 metrics to assess and communicate the value of biomedical research2291608UNISA
