Think SSHRC PG or CFREF or CERC or large scale NSERC Alliance. Even modest applications to health charities. Funders want to demonstrate the impact of research on the lives of Canadians but they can’t do it without research that is designed for impact from the beginning. Impact can’t wait till evaluation at the end (ex post) to see (ok…to hope) if something happened. Impact needs to be planned from the beginning (ex ante). Even at the beginning you need to know the future data, tools and systems for collecting the evidence of impact and then the format of communicating impact back to funders. Presenting ready to use tools, this session will connect the dots between impact planning and impact assessment especially for large scale grant programs that need to demonstrate the change that research has made in the world.
