Abstract: The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Division of Extramural Research and Training (DERT), with contract support from Battelle Centers for Public Health Research and Evaluation, is examining the impact of its extramural research portfolio. To date, a framework for examining research impact has been developed. This method has been applied to a limited extent to DERT's asthma research portfolio. The limitation is that only extant data have been used to date. DERT proposes to extend this analysis through primary data collection. The purpose of the proposed primary data collection is to obtain information from grantees regarding the impact of their funded asthma research in the short-, intermediate- and long-term. This will be done through a survey of grantees that includes questions about the impact of funding on career development, the field of asthma research, public attitudes, commercial product development, clinical practice, business and industry practices, and long-term human and environmental health. Because other federal agencies also support asthma research, DERT proposes to collect the same information from asthma researchers whose research support comes from a select number of other agencies for purposes of comparison. These agencies include the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and selected NIH institutes: The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), and the National Institute for Child Health and Development (NICHD). Each researcher will receive an invitation to complete a 15-minute, close-ended, survey on the web. A paper option will be provided.
