Hey #DiSHMCr cohorts, there's some interesting topics in here that you might be interested in!

I would welcome your vote in an international short- video competition to help call attention to the potential for evaluation of systems transformation. The link to vote is below. Here’s the story. Peeref, a global communications platform tailored to scientific researchers, is sponsoring a 5-minute research video presentation competition. I have submitted a video on “Systems Transformation: How It Happens and How to Evaluate It.” Just 5 minutes. Peeref is sponsoring the competition to attract traffic to its platform for research communications. The platform has potential as an outlet for communication of evaluation findings so, after you vote for the video I submitted, if you choose to do so, you can check out the site and what Peeref aspires to achieve. “Peeref is designed to provide researchers an integrated forum for exchanging insights on scientific publications and sharing their journal submission and peer review experiences. Our mission is to help scholars worldwide establish trusted social networks through active scientific communication.” The winning video receives a modest $250 prize which I will match and donate to AEA’s international travel fund should I have the winning video. My interest in entering the competition is to spotlight for the global research community that evaluation is a field contributing to knowledge in many domains. Lots of votes will demonstrate lots of interest in evaluation. Thanks for your help and support. Here’s the link to vote. https://lnkd.in/gGzxr_Sq Vote for webinar: Systems Transformation: How It Happens and How to Evaluate It - Peeref

🔬 Science is crucial to help meet the challenges for sustainable development. However, evaluating quality, alignment, and contributions of Research for Development interventions with Sustainable Development Goals is not straightforward for evaluators, researchers, scientists, or funders. #EVALSDGs Insight 18 proposes a clear, structured, and comprehensive approach to evaluating this by introducing the Quality of Science evaluation criterion, and a menu of mixed methods.

📅 Save the date for all researchers, innovators, and industry leaders in the Netherlands! 💰 The NWO Perspectief #funding instrument is gearing up for its next round of proposals, expected to open in July this year. Each research project that is awarded funding will be allocated between 2 and 5 million euro. This programme, funded by the Ministerie van Economische Zaken en Klimaat and administered by NWO (Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek), aims to drive collaborative research projects focused on #technological #innovation with societal impact, which will help the ministry fulfil its Mission-Driven Top Sectors and Innovation Policy. 💪Perspectief is a platform that brings together academia, industry, and civil society organisations to tackle pressing societal issues through cutting-edge research and innovation. With a focus on #digitalisation, key enabling #technologies, and alignment with the Knowledge and Innovation Agendas (#KIAs), it empowers multidisciplinary teams to make a real difference. 👉 More info?

📣FUNDING AVAILABLE TO IMPROVE YOUR RESEARCH ASSESSMENT APPROACH USING SCOPE* Have you ever considered using the INORMS Research Evaluation Group SCOPE framework to develop or improve an assessment approach at your institution? Are you based in a EU Member State or country associated to the Horizon Europe Framework Programme for Research and Innovation? If so, you could apply for Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment Boost Cascade funding to support your use of SCOPE! There are three types of projects that can be funded: 1) Teaming projects: If you want to learn from another organisation that’s used SCOPE. 2) Institutional Pilot projects: if you want to experiment with or evaluate SCOPE in the context of a clearly defined initiative. 3) Institutional Change projects: if you want to use SCOPE as a means to accelerate change in procedures and process in your organisation. To view the whole call and examples of the types of projects that can be funded, see the CoARA web pages here: https://lnkd.in/ezrD_n3K . *Funding can also be used to explore other assessment approaches!
