Review and conceptualization of impacts of research/creation in the fine arts : final report / Michelle Picard-Aitken, Frédéric Bertrand.: CR22-97/2008E-PDF

"The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) has taken up the challenge of better defining, measuring and demonstrating the impact of the research activities it funds, most notably through program evaluations and related initiatives, such as its Presidential Fund Initiative entitled “Capturing the Outcomes and Impacts of Publicly Funded Research.” SSHRC benefits from the results of these efforts on three levels: first, it is better able to meet its internal requirements to track, evaluate and report on the performance and results of its programs (i.e., for the Treasury Board); second, it can better understand the researchers and the nature of the research it funds, and thus adapt and improve its programs’ applications and review processes; and finally (and more generally), it is better able to demonstrate the value of social science, arts and humanities research to Canadian society and the national economy"--Introduction, p. 2.
