  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

  9. NOSM Publication Trends (2005 – 2010) Below is a graph of the PubMed hits when searching “Northern Ontario School of Medicine” or “Northern Ontario Medical School”.
