This study aimed to review the literature describing and quantifying time lags in the health research translation process. Papers were included in the review if they quantified time lags in the development of health interventions. The study identified 23 papers. Few were comparable as different studies use different measures, of different things, at different time points. We concluded that the current state of knowledge of time lags is of limited use to those responsible for R&D and knowledge transfer who face difficulties in knowing what they should or can do to reduce time lags. This effectively ‘blindfolds’ investment decisions and risks wasting effort. The study concludes that understanding lags first requires agreeing models, definitions and measures, which can be applied in practice. A second task would be to develop a process by which to gather these data.

The Answer Is 17 Years, What Is the Question

Much attention has been paid to estimating the impact of investments in scientific research. Historically, those efforts have been largely ad hoc, burdensome, and error prone. In addition, the focu...

A new approach for estimating research impact: An application to French cancer research

This paper uses CGIAR research as an example to demonstrate the potential of food systems science to contribute to conflict prevention and peacebuilding. Conflict often arises through a complex process whose triggers and consequences are closely interconnected in feedback loops and linked to climate variability, environmental degradation and food insecurity. Conflicts are often approached from a symptomatic rather than a holistic perspective. We (i) review the literature on climate security to identify conflict pathways and related drivers. This serves as the basis for mapping CGIAR and partner research related to climate security through a portfolio review (ii) and facilitated multidisciplinary expert panel discussions (iii). We then define cross-cutting priorities for the future direction of climate security debates, policies and programmes and link them to the new One CGIAR strategy. Conflicts pathways related to food systems, migration and weak governance were among the most studied conflict drivers found in the literature. The same drivers are also frequently studied by CGIAR and addressed by conveying knowledge and tools on disaster- risk reduction, climate change adaptation and livelihood resilience, among others. Four cross-cutting priorities for peacebuilding emerged from the panel discussions: (1) integrating food systems science into policy conversations; (2) bridging the gap between food systems science and security through data and new technologies; (3) financing to build sustainable livelihoods for conflict-affected populations; and (4) multidisciplinary partnerships. CGIAR, its many partners and partner research and development initiatives, are well positioned to demonstrate the potential of food systems science to contribute to peacebuilding.

National Occupational Research Agenda : second decade in review 2006-2016

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency is considering additional steps to improve its resource-management processes and asked the RAND Corporation to examine NGA's resource programming process. RAND focused on what changes were made, why changes were made, and what the results were, and made recommendations for improving the next evolution of this process.

National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Resources: Financial Management Programming Evaluation

RAND Corporation researchers reviewed metrics for evaluating research portfolios used by medical research organizations and appraised their characteristics and trade-offs associated with their use. This report presents the results, categorized using a logic-model approach, to help organizations responsible for research portfolios to select, develop, and revise the metrics they use in their evaluations.
