The importance of health research utilisation in policy-making, and understanding the mechanisms involved, is increasingly recognised. Recent reports calling for more resources to improve developing countries, global pressures accountability, draw greater attention research-informed policy-making. Key issues have been described at least twenty years, but growing focus on systems creates additional dimensions.The policy-making should contribute policies that may eventually lead desired...

Closing the gap between research production and use is a key challenge for health system. Stakeholder engagement being increasingly promoted across board by funding organisations, indeed many researchers themselves, as an important pathway to achieving impact. This opinion piece draws on study of stakeholder in systematic literature search conducted part study.This paper provides short conceptualisation engagement, followed 'design principles' that we put forward based combination existing...

The time taken, or 'time lags', between biomedical/health research and its translation into health improvements is receiving growing attention. Reducing lags should increase rates of return to such research. However, ways measure are under-developed, with little attention on where arise within overall timelines. process marker model has been proposed as a better way forward than the current focus an increasingly complex series 'gaps'. Starting from that model, we aimed develop methods...

Throughout the world there is a growing recognition that health care should be research-led. This strengthens requirement for expenditure on services research to justified by demonstrating benefits it produces. However, payback from and development complex concept little used term. Five main categories of can identified: knowledge; benefits; political administrative sector broader economic benefits. Various models utilization together with previous assessments helped in new conceptual model...

Building on an approach applied to cardiovascular and cancer research, we estimated the economic returns from United Kingdom public- charitable-funded musculoskeletal disease (MSD) research that arise net value of improved health outcomes in Kingdom. To calculate MSD-related Kingdom, (1) public charitable expenditure between 1970 2013; (2) monetary benefit (NMB), derived quality adjusted life years (QALYs) valued terms (using a base-case QALY £25,000) minus cost delivering benefit, for...

Building on an approach developed to assess the economic returns cardiovascular research, we estimated from UK public and charitable funded cancer-related research that arise net value of improved health outcomes. To these in estimated: 1) expenditure 1970 2009; 2) monetary benefit (NMB), is, measured quality adjusted life years (QALYs) valued terms (using a base-case QALY GB£25,000) minus cost delivering benefit, for prioritised list interventions 1991 2010; 3) proportion NMB attributable...

Background There is a widely held assumption that research engagement improves health-care performance at various levels, but little direct empirical evidence. Objectives To conduct theoretically and empirically grounded synthesis to map explore plausible mechanisms through which might improve health services performance. A review of the effects on patients their practitioner's or institution's participation in clinical trials was published after submission proposal for this review. It...

Abstract It is often said that it takes 17 years to move medical research from bench bedside. In a coronavirus disease (COVID-19) world, such time-lags feel intolerable. these extraordinary circumstances could be made into months? If so, those lessons used accelerate when the crisis eases? To measure in health and biomedical as well identify ways of reducing them, we developed published (in 2015) matrix consisting overlapping tracks (or stages/phases) translation discovery products, policies...

BACKGROUND: External and internal factors are increasingly encouraging research funding bodies to demonstrate the outcomes of their research. Traditional methods assessing still important, but can be merged into broader multi-dimensional categorisations benefits. The onus has hitherto been on public sector bodies, in UK role medical charities is particularly important Arthritis Research Campaign, leading charity its field UK, commissioned a study identify from that it funds. This article...

Implementation of health research findings is important for medicine to be evidence-based. Previous studies have found variation in the information sources thought greatest importance clinicians but publication peer-reviewed journals traditional route dissemination findings. There debate about whether impact made on should considered as part evaluation outputs. We aimed determine first which are generally most consulted by paediatricians inform their clinical practice, and they important,...

Objectives. Using a structured evaluation framework to systematically review and document the outputs outcomes of research funded by Arthritis Research Campaign in early 1990s. To illustrate strengths weaknesses different modes funding.

Health research systems consist of diverse groups who have some role in health research, but the boundaries around such a system are not clear-cut. To explore what various stakeholders need we reviewed literature including that on history English R&D reforms, and also applied relevant conceptual frameworks. We first describe needs capabilities main systems, explain key features policymaking within which these operate UK. The five policymakers (and care managers), professionals, patients...

Objective: To evaluate the impact of National Breast Cancer Foundation's (NBCF's) research investment. Design and participants: Surveys based on Payback Framework were sent to chief investigators involved in funded by NBCF during 1995–2012; a bibliometric analysis NBCF-funded publications 2006–2010 was conducted; purposive, stratified sample case studies obtained. Main outcome measures: Research knowledge production, system, informing policy, product development broader health economic...

Abstract Background Funders of health research increasingly seek to understand how best allocate resources in order achieve maximum value from their funding. We built an international consortium and developed a multinational case study approach assess benefits arising research. used that facilitate analysis factors the production might be associated with translating findings into wider impacts, complexities involved. Methods on Payback Framework expanded its application through conducting...

Abstract Background Health research is important for the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals. However, there are many challenges facing health research, including securing sufficient funds, building capacity, producing findings and using both local global evidence, avoiding waste. A WHO initiative addressed these by developing a conceptual framework with four functions to guide development national systems. Despite some progress, more needed before systems can meet their full...
