After more than a decade of building systems of research impact at York University and across Canada with the Research Impact Canada network David Phipps has learned a thing or two (actually\u2026six things) about impact. Each form a fundamental of impact. Put them together and this is some of the #ShitDavidSays about impact
\nApr\u00e8s avoir pass\u00e9 plus de dix ans \u00e0 mettre sur pied des syst\u00e8mes d\u2019amplification de l\u2019impact de la recherche, \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 York et dans tout le Canada avec le R\u00e9seau Impact Recherche, David Phipps a appris une ou deux petites choses (six, en fait) sur le sujet. Chacune est fondamentale pour l\u2019impact de la recherche. Prises ensemble, \u00e7a donne euh\u2026 les id\u00e9es de David sur l\u2019impact, pour le dire gentiment. Vous les trouverez ici : #ShitDavidSays. <\/em>
\nI was recently invited to open the New Zealand Rehabilitation Conference<\/a> where the theme was the impact rehab research can have on rehab practice. I have no expertise in rehab research, practice or impact so I needed to keep the story high level but make it relevant to the NZ rehab context. I needed to share some big concepts and illustrate them with examples from practice. I was inspired by an amazing talk given by Dr. Mae Jemison who spoke at the National Council of University Research Administrators (NCURA) annual conference<\/a> in Washington DC in August 2017. Dr. Jemison was the first African American woman to travel in space when she went into orbit aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour on September 12, 1992. Her talk was great, but her presentation was my inspiration. She showed a single picture with a single quote or statement and then spoke about that slide.
\nPictures. Few words. Lots of stories.
\nThat\u2019s what I imagined as I reflected on my decade plus work in impact [sidebar: actually, I have been involved in impact since the mid-1990s when we identified a possible marker of HIV infection during my post doctoral research. I learned the craft of technology commercialization and joined the University of Toronto Innovations Foundation.] As I developed my slides \u201cAfter a decade of impact\u2026\u201d I realized I was going a very long way for this talk, so why not make it even more memorable.
\nI asked conference chair Nicola Kayes if I had to be terribly serious as I opened her conference. After consulting with her program committee, I got permission to change the title to \u201c#ShitDavidSays about Impact\u201d.
\nIn the next six posts of this series I will present some themes that have permeated my work over the years. The headlines for each post are:
\n\u2022 It\u2019s not about supply and demand: Who has what knowledge and the importance of acknowledging power in our research collaborations
\n\u2022 Engaged scholarship NOT knowledge transfer: Dissemination is necessary but not sufficient to create change
\n\u2022 Impact frameworks are like toothbrushes: What are the important elements of any impact framework and how to adapt them to your context
\n\u2022 We are all knowledge hypocrites: There is a science underpinning knowledge mobilization and impact and how are we (or aren\u2019t we) using it?
\n\u2022 Impact is measured at the level of the user: Who really makes impact and where\/when do we measure it?
\n\u2022 If impact occurred but no one was there to measure it…: the importance of impact assessment and some stuff related to the UK Research Excellence Framework
\nStay tuned as these roll out for details on these six themes. And if you want to see a webinar on #ShitDavidSays about Impact you can pay to attend a webinar sponsored by the Canadian Association of Research Administrators at noon Eastern on November 10, 2017.
