PURPOSE OF TODAY’S BRIEFING • What is the relationship between the CTSA National Evaluation and the local CTSA institutional self-evaluations? • How does our recent collection of revised self-evaluation plans contribute to the CTSA National Evaluation effort? • What will be the CTSA National Evaluation research questions? • What are the next steps in planning the CTSA National Evaluation?

3. CTSA NATIONAL EVALUATION A B CTSA INSTITUTIONAL SELF-EVALUATION C B CTSA INSTITUTIONAL SELF-EVALUATION C B CTSA INSTITUTIONAL SELF-EVALUATION C RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CTSA NATIONAL EVALUATION AND INSTITUTIONAL SELF EVALUATIONS

4. CATEGORIES OF EXAMPLE EVALUATION QUESTIONS WITHIN THE CTSA PROGRAM • Local Institutional Evaluation Questions: • To what extent is component X effective in stimulating new clinical and translational research grant applications at this institution? • Cross-Institutional Evaluation Questions: • What actions does each institution undertake to promote multidisciplinary research within the institution? • National Evaluation Questions: • What has been society’s return on investment from the NIH’s funding of the CTSA Program?

5. HOW THE REVISED CTSA INSTITUTIONAL SELF-EVALUATION PLANS WILL INFORM THE CTSA NATIONAL EVALUATION

6. THE SIX CTSA NATIONAL EVALUATION DOMAINS: • Institution • Scientist • Consortium • Science • Health Practice • Community

7. NEXT STEPS • Complete review and synthesis of revised self-evaluation plans • Examine common measures and metrics across institutions and link to appropriate Cross-Institutional Evaluation questions • Based on this linkage, propose elements of a Cross-Institutional Dataset; potential link to NIH datasets, e.g. CRISP • Determine methods and measures to address other National Evaluation questions
