Impact Portfolios • The full picture of our shared impacts • upon research capacity, new knowledge, and society • measured within the context of our discipline
Impact Portfolios • All research activity has an impact portfolio • Every portfolio tells a story • Every story is part numbers and part narrative • The hard part is capture and reporting
Impact Portfolios • A CV should reflect all contributions • Once captured they should be reusable in any impact reports • A surprising amount of what we need is already captured, but not connectable
Impact Portfolios • Researcher portfolios roll-up into ... • Institution portfolios roll-up into ... • Funder portfolios roll-up into ... • Regional, National, Theme, etc. • Think russian doll
CASRAI focus • Agreement among key stakeholders on the content of Impact Portfolios • Agreement among key stakeholders on the format of Impact Reports • “Record once, reuse anywhere”
Call to action • Funders, Institutions, Networks, Centres, and Vendors • are participating • To get involved visit: • casrai.org/join
Connecting Research • Thank-you.
CASRAI Status • 4 standards committees and associated review circles (person, activity, impact, classification) • key national and provincial funders • growing list of institution-based members • growing international interest
Impact Disconnect • multiple stakeholders but each an island • impact is not linear • inputs locked in disconnected silos • impact evidence lost through non-capture • no easy way to connect the dots
Impact Reconnect • All stakeholders in feasible agreement • Shared attribution rather than exclusive • A dictionary defining inputs & impacts • A way to connect inputs to impacts • A way to connect the silos on demand
CASRAI & Impact • Multi-discipline conceptualization • Capture once at source (indicator events) • Roll-up when needed (impact reporting) • Collect independently on demand • Combine & compare on demand
