10 reflections on funding research to make change happen

by Gabriele Bammer

10 reflections on funding research for change are discussed by Petra Lundgren in her blog post at https://i2insights.org/2021/04/27/research-funding-for-change/. They are: 1) be strategic & design for change, 2) make the design process compulsory, 3) involve communities & civil society in pathway to impact planning, 4) identify & involve policy makers who will drive change, 5) include opposing views in stakeholder mapping, 6) fund entire pathway to impact not just research, 7) use program management tools eg theory of change & program logic, 8) be prepared to change your approach as things evolve, 9) don't just focus on a single solution, 10) as a funder stay involved in the research until impact is achieved. =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health Research School of Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://I2Insights.org CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================

Invitation to NASEM Workshop on Innovation, Global Value Chains, and Globalization Measurement (5-7 May 2021)

by Cohen, Gail

INVITATION TO ATTEND: Innovation, Global Value Chains, and Globalization Measurement-A Workshop May 5-7, 2021 (via Zoom Webinar) Hosted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine Funded by the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, within the National Science Foundation In recent decades, production processes of final products have been increasingly fragmented across countries in what are called global value chains (GVCs). While National Statistical Organizations collect a great deal of information on economic performance, trade, employment, and foreign direct investment, this information cannot always be used to quantify the international linkages and flows that characterize these cross-border transactions, especially those related to R&D or software. Please join us<https://www.nationalacademies.org/event/11-05-2020/innovation-global-value-…> on 5-7 May 2021, when the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will hold a virtual workshop to address measurement needs and related gaps in the theory on globalization of research and development. A proceedings volume summarizing the workshop discussions will be published following the event. TO ATTEND THE WORKSHOP: The workshop agenda, registration link, and additional event information can be found at https://www.nationalacademies.org/event/11-05-2020/innovation-global-value-….

6 ways leadership of cross-disciplinary teams can be improved by facilitation skills

by Gabriele Bammer

6 ways leadership of cross-disciplinary teams can be improved by facilitation skills are discussed (in English and Arabic) by Manal Affara in her blog post at https://i2insights.org/2021/04/20/facilitation-for-cross-disciplinary-teams/. They are 1) improved team discussions through authentic communication & empowerment around ideas, 2) better organised processes to achieve goals & boost morale, 3) more interactive meetings to share mental models, assimilate info & co-innovate, 4) staying focused on goals while adapting to change & responding to innovative opportunities, 5) solidify trustful ties & relationships, and 6) applying emotional intelligence. =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health Research School of Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://I2Insights.org CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================

You are invited to a conference "The Value of Science: Data, Products and Use"

by Trapani, Joshua

Passing along information about this very interesting sounding conference .... Dear colleagues We would like to invite you to participate in an important two day conference<https://coleridgeinitiative.org/value-of-science-conference/>, co-sponsored by the Coleridge Initiative<https://coleridgeinitiative.org/>, the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics<https://www.nsf.gov/statistics/>, the Institute for Research on Innovation and Science<https://iris.isr.umich.edu/>, and the Harvard Data Science Review<https://hdsr.mitpress.mit.edu/>: The conference is called "The Value of Science: Data, Products & Use<https://coleridgeinitiative.org/value-of-science-conference/>". We are delighted to feature Paul Romer, 2018 Nobel Laureate in Economics, Xiao-Li Meng, Editor of the Harvard Data Science Review, Nancy Potok, former US Chief Statistician and many other luminaries in the conference. More details are available on the website here<https://coleridgeinitiative.org/value-of-science-conference/>. The event will take place online (via Zoom) over two days: June 23rd and June 24th from 11-2pm Register<https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ntozGhe4RtuSmbctRVCPxw> As you know, this is an important time for science. There is a new appreciation for the value of investment in R&D, and in the promise of science for improving health, economic activity, and social inequality. But that appreciation is tempered by a need to understand the value proposition of doing so. The goal of the conference is to highlight advances made to inform the evidence basis for such investments. The U.S. scientific community has responded to earlier calls for better evidence with more than a decade's worth of effort in data collection and integration. Those efforts are now bearing fruit in data, products and a burgeoning community of users. The conference presentations will highlight these successes. They will begin providing both a theoretical and practical framework for understanding the value of science. That will be followed by introducing participants to the new types of data being combined - transaction, administrative and survey data - and then the issues that are raised by linking such disparate sources of information. The next set of participants will begin by describing the broader context - how other fields have developed value from data, and what the Science of Science Policy can learn from their experience - and be followed by a practical set of results documenting the insights that have been generated over the past decade. The conference will conclude with a discussion of how to create new communities, particularly underserved communities, and a vision for the future. You can register here<https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ntozGhe4RtuSmbctRVCPxw> (no registration fees) - and we hope that you will disseminate information about the conference widely. Frauke Kreuter, Julia Lane, and Allison Nunez (on behalf of the scientific committee).

Ten tips for collaboration - a classic resource!

by Gabriele Bammer

Ten tips for collaboration are described by Michelle Bennett and Christophe Marchand in their revisited blog post at http://i2insights.org/2018/07/24/ten-collaboration-tips/ They are 1) Trust provides the foundation, 2) Vision sets goals & attracts team members, 3) Self-awareness & emotional intelligence contribute to effective functioning, 4) Leadership should elicit & capitalise on each team member's strengths, 5) Mentoring is needed to coach team members to achieve their aspirations, 6) Teams evolve & 'storming' phase of team dynamics is essential for a strong team, 7) Effective communication, candid discussions & a safe environment are essential, 8) Contributions must be recognised & success shared, 9) Conflict must be recognised as a resource & a challenge, 10) Leveraging networks & systems helps teams accomplish more. =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health Research School of Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://I2Insights.org CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================
