• Breakout Group Report

Existing Impact Efforts

• 61 CTSA Evaluation Teams
• REF in the UK
• Cancer Centers have pretty formalized metrics
  capture to leverage for CTSA. NCI Summary 3 and
  Summary 4 clinical research reports could be
  genericized
• We should leverage other things that cancer
  centers have learned and if they are important
  for CTSAs
• Short list of 15 evaluation measures from
  Evaluation KFC.
• PIs weighed in
• Feasibility IDd low hanging fruit
• CASRAI in Canada and EUROCRIS theyre
  developing data dictionaries can we leverage
  there work

Existing CTSA Activities Outcomes Efforts

• 15 measures were disseminated from Common Metrics
  Group and a definitions group was established
  to accurately define
• The definitions group was created in October,
  with piloting at a few now, and at all CTSAs in
  April
• VIVO and other RNS activities could assist in
  capturing artifacts that could be used for
  evaluation

4
Ontologies Evaluation Efforts

• Using VIVO to automate publication citation of
  grants for reporting
• Building an ontology extension around issues Re
  evaluation and impact
• Northwestern University Latticegrid for
  identifying publications for reporting

5
CTSA and Ontology Roles

• Ontology development
• Better coordination between evaluation teams and
  other CTSA teams
• Seems to be gaps
