Science Impact | Public Health Grand Rounds

Science Impact | Public Health Grand Rounds



Grand Rounds button

The video and presentation slides from the January session of CDC’s Public Health Grand Rounds,“Measuring Science Impact” held on Tuesday, January 21 are now available at http://www.cdc.gov/about/grand-rounds/archives/2014/January2014.htm.

Have you ever wondered what kind of impact CDC science has?  Did you ever want to know if your published research is likely to have impact on a significant health outcome?  Traditional citation data and journal metrics help us understand how widely the research is disseminated.  But then what?  How can these research findings be used towards significant improvements in public health practice or policy?

To help answer these questions, and trace and link scientific enterprise to significant outcomes, CDC has developed the Science Impact Framework.  The Framework utilizes a combination of quantitative and qualitative indicators to measure impact towards health outcomes, through five levels of influence: disseminating science, creating awareness, catalyzing action, effecting change, and shaping the future. The complex dynamics between the levels of influence and the intricate environment in which influence materializes create a path of impact which does not necessarily follow a linear progression.
  
Please join us for this special edition of Grand Rounds as we examine the CDC Science Impact Framework, its development, use underway and opportunities and challenges associated with implementing it across the diverse areas of public health.

Continuing Education

Presentation

Beyond the Data Beyond brings you "take home" messages for you to use in your practice, in your classroom and in your home.
Dr. Tanja Popovic and Dr. Mary Ari discuss efforts to measure the impact of CDC science. This exciting project provides an opportunity for scientists to more efficiently track and monitor the impact of public health work on health outcomes. Why is this so important? The CDC Science Impact Framework:
