Evaluation of the Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network (CPCRN)

1. Evaluation of the Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network (CPCRN) Katherine M. Wilson, PhD, MPH, CHES Cathy L. Melvin, PhD, MPH The findings of this presentation are the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

2. Today • Show you the CPCRN logic model • Tell the story of the origin of the CPCRN • Describe how the logic model • Was built • Will be measured • And show a page from the web-based data entry system • Talk about the analysis and interpretation of such data • Give you a peek at future uses of data

3. History Simple desire for a mechanism in which • Programs being used widely in the field could be evaluated AND • Proven interventions could be tested in multiple sites simultaneously for their effectiveness, or level of success in real-world settings.

4. Mission Communities and researchers working together to reduce the burden of cancer, especially among those disproportionately affected, through developing local and national level research-practice partnership infrastructures

7. Performance Indicators • The blood, sweat, and tears… • After agreeing on framework, ad hoc group drafted performance indicators • Took to Steering Committee for discussion and eventual approval • Have written measures for each indicator which also have been discussed and approved by the Steering Committee.

8. Selected examples of performance indicators and measures • Column B • Column C • Column D

12. How we will capture these?

13. What will these mean? • Going from measurement to analysis • Examples • Column B,– processes of collaboration • We want to see a movement from simple information sharing to collaboration • Column C, – co-authored manuscripts and grant applications • We want to see fewer single author, single institution manuscripts and grant appications

14. What will these indicators tell us? Examples of ways to measure movement from simple information sharing (networking) to collaboration • Column B – processes of collaboration • Column C – co-authored manuscripts and grant applications. B4 C3

15. A peek into future uses for these data and the logic model • Funding, funding, funding… • Justifying another five-year cycle for the Network, perhaps with even more centers funded. • Contribute to the literature on collaboration and infrastructure needed for successful multi-center research.
