  1. Evaluating the impact of theQuality Research in Dementia (QRD) Consumer Network on the Alzheimer’s Society’s Research Programme Shirley Nurock Ted Freer Members of QRD consumer network

  2. QRD Involvement in research • Brainstorming – research priorities • Application review and prioritisation • Award Panels • Project Monitoring • Dissemination

  3. AIMS 1) To determine the quality of the research funded 2) To determine value of consumer involvement in Alzheimer’s Society research • Compare pre and post 2000 QRD programme • Compare with an equivalent programme with no consumer involvement • Value for money

  4. QRD Evaluation Project

  5. EVALUATION CRITERIA • Publication in scientific peer-reviewed journals using journal impact factors • Results being used by other groups for policy, research and treatments • Career development of researchers in dementia research and practice • Increased awareness of dementia issues resulting from project

  6. DEFINING THE QUESTIONS Q1. How well were the objectives of the research proposal met? Q2. How do you rank the level of output from the project? Q3. How much difference will this research make to people with dementia? J1--------2--------3--------4--------5--------6--------7--------8--------9--------10L Consumers answer questions by marking on a scale of 1-10, where 1 is a high score, and 10 is a very low score

  7. RESULTSDiscrimination between the three questionsfor same researcher

  8. RESULTSQ3. How much difference will this research make to people with dementia?

  9. CONSUMER’S CONCERNS • More informative final project reports • Difficult to evaluate quality of output • More information on what use was made of the results • More information on grant holders subsequent activities • Wider dissemination beyond scientific press

  10. FURTHER EVALUATION

  11. CONCLUSIONS • This is an ongoing innovative study • Stepwise development • Consumers can evaluate output and quality
