“…It was used, for instance, for a retrospective evaluation of the benefits of research funded by a regional office of the National Health Service; in collaboration with RAND Europe, the Framework was extended to examine basic and early clinical biomedical research (Donovan & Hanney, ). Scott, Blasinsky, Dufour, Mandal, and Philogene () described its application in an evaluation of the Mind–Body Interactions and Health Program; Nason et al. () used the Framework to assess the impacts of the Health Research Board of Ireland's funding activities.…”

Since the 1990s, the scope of research evaluations becomes broader as the societal products (outputs), societal use (societal references), and societal benefits (changes in society) of research come into scope. Society can reap the benefits of successful research studies only if the results are converted into marketable and consumable products (e.g., medicaments, diagnostic tools, machines, and devices) or services. A series of different names have been introduced which refer to the societal impact of research: third stream activities, societal benefits, societal quality, usefulness, public values, knowledge transfer, and societal relevance. What most of these names are concerned with is the assessment of social, cultural, environmental, and economic returns (impact and effects) from results (research output) or products (research outcome) of publicly funded research. This review intends to present existing research on and practices employed in the assessment of societal impact in the form of a literature survey. The objective is for this review to serve as a basis for the development of robust and reliable methods of societal impact measurement.

“…It is most commonly used as a structure for case studies, but it can also form the framing for wider studies taking in a range of evidence-gathering approaches (e.g. Oortwijn et al 2008;McClure et al 2012;Scott et al 2011;Wooding et al 2009). An example of this is the two studies evaluating the NIHR's Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, which drew on methods including bibliometric analysis, interviews, surveys and case studies to characterise the outcomes of the research funded through the programme, from the initial production of knowledge to ultimate impacts on health and wellbeing (Guthrie et al 2015;Hanney et al 2007).…”

“…A recent review by Greenhalgh et al [ 45 ] of six established approaches to assessment of impact, namely Payback, Research Impact Framework, Canadian Academy of Health Sciences, monetisation, societal impact assessment, and the United Kingdom REF, including metrics and electronic databases concluded that (1) one size does not fit all; (2) robust and sophisticated approaches are labour-intensive and not always feasible or affordable; (3) whilst metrics may capture direct and proximate impacts, more indirect elements of the research–impact link can and should be measured; and (4) research on research impact is rapidly developing with the prospect of new and automated methodologies. It is interesting to note that the impact of the American National Institute of Health's Mind-Body Interactions and Health [ 46 ] was assessed using the Payback Framework, which was developed in the United Kingdom for the Department of Health’s Research and Development Division.…”

Transferring research from a university to the United Kingdom National Health Service: the implications for impact

The aim of this article is to inform readers of the author’s reflections on the experience of transferring university-based research into the commercial sector, and of the processes and strategies employed when preparing for impact in so doing. Concepts for the transfer are illustrated by the author’s reflection on aspects that arose during the birthing and subsequent start-up of a university spin-off, Pathways2Wellbeing, a form of reflection-on-action. This is the vehicle for the adaption required to transfer research into the delivery of a specialised clinic in the United Kingdom National Health Service for people with medically unexplained, persistent, bodily symptoms such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and chronic pain. It is hoped that the article will provide readers with an insight into how knowledge transfer can take place through engagement with stakeholders to create an exchange of knowledges to result in impact on health service policy for service users, despite the challenges, and the enablers that facilitated this process. The reflections on the process of knowledge transfer and the implications for impact are underpinned by relevant theory.
