Research Snapshot Presentation to the Academic Council March 2011

In March 2011, the Academic Council discussed the intricacies of research sustainability at NOSM. The emphasis was on crafting the right research questions, which serve as the foundation for successful outcomes. Key objectives of research include training highly qualified personnel, influencing policy, and advancing knowledge for economic development. Success is defined by the dissemination of published research and the generation of sustainable funding. NOSM aims to support outstanding, team-based research aligned with its strategic plan, while facing financial constraints.

  2. Context of today’s discussion

  3. Research is extremely difficult, it revolves around a question Having the right question differentiates success from failure

  4. Research can have many objectives: • training HQP • changing policy • adding knowledge • economic development • transferring knowledge But in the end it must be sustainable Therefore, research success can be defined as firstly transferring knowledge (generally means published), and secondly generating funding (sustainable).

  5. Research success can be defined as: • published (the knowledge disseminated) • funded (sustainable) • It is always hoped that research is: • of high impact (matters) • of high volume (generates significant funding)

  6. Sustainable Successful

  7. A few general concepts: • only outstanding research is sustainable (will generate funding) • NOSM will never have enough money to support on-going research • NOSM can only invest in (seed) outstanding research • NOSM can’t invest in research that can’t be externally sustained • NOSM must focus on supporting team-based research • NOSM-supported research must focus on our Strategic Plan

  8. NOSM Research Trends (‘05 – ’10) • Publications (focus on peer-reviewed, original research) • Research Funding (Institutionally initiated and Investigator initiated) • Collaborative Research • Medical Sciences, Clinical Sciences, Human Sciences
