Development of indicators for measurement at each stage of Knowledge Translationfrom Research to Impact
Role of Evaluation
How are the KT Core services helping NeuroDevNet researchers & trainees?
How have we made a difference for children with NDDs and their families, in Canada?
Indicators are important because…
Anatomy of indicator
Definition components1) Name/title of indicator2) Definition (including N/D if
applicable)3) Type 4) Rationale5) Strengths/Limitations6) Data Source(s)7) Stage in CPPI8) Date9) Responsibility for collecting
data
Example1) [CB] % increase in knowledge2) Sum of scores/#attendees x 100 3) Outcome4) Measure knowledge gained5) S: measures change/impact,
L: bias & missing data6) Pre-Post questionnaires7) All8) May 28, 20149) KT Core
Process
1. Map services onto CPPI evaluation framework
2. Identify indicators for tracking each service
3. Design and develop database for tracking (& reports to be generated)
4. Fully define indicators
For Progress ReportingThis is the template from HQ to fill out for the table portion of our progress report:
Take away messages
1) Have an evaluation framework to position your indicators
2) Define indicators to the fullest extent possible
3) Integrate a system for data tracking & reports
ExercisePart 1: – Identify your network/organization/project goal(s)– Identify the outcome drivers:
What is the intended change? [What is the baseline?]What is the intended benefit?Who will stand to benefit and how? How will the change be made? [Activity, KP, KU, output]How is the process and result relevant, useful, accessible,
broad reaching, will be applied by the end user?
Part 2: create a comprehensive definition for 1 indicator that is linked to a goal that you identified in part 1
