STINT: Strengths and Barriers in Translational Research at OHSU A Practical Example of Strengths Assessment Using Mixed Methods
I was going to send out another survey, then I remembered the response rate to the last one. Why do a mixed methods study?
Three Methodological Components Integration of quantitative data from institutional data sources • Funding Data • IRB Data • Translational Research Classification • OCTRI Investigator Data
Three Methodological Components Qualitative Interviews of OHSU Translational Researchers 51 researchers & administrators interviewed
Three Methodological Components Snowball samplingand referral network map 141 investigators received referrals 247 total referrals made
Interview Themes • Translational Research Definition • Strengths, Barriers • Current vs. Emerging • Scientific Disciplines • Research Processes • Resources • Organizational Culture • OCTRI • Referrals “If you had $100 million for translational research, how would you spend it?”
Analysis of Institutional Data *not real data
Tell a story… Mixed Methods Analysis
Story #1 Community & Policy Research Translational?
2 community & policy researchers from our initial sample received no referrals from other translational researchers. All Referrals for Interviewees Referrals to Community Interviewees Circle size represents funding amount.
Community & Policy Research is well-funded *not real data
Story #2 Department “B” Connected?
Department B Received Many Referrals Departments with 20% or more of total investigators receiving referrals
Referrals to Dept. “B”
Department B Had a High Rate of Internal Referrals 5 departments with highest percent of internal referrals
