Abstract
Impact case studies are a critical part of the UK national research excellence framework. Case studies attempt to give an overview of the impact of academic research, by showing in a 5-page narrative, to triangulate the link between research outputs, activities, and their positive impacts beyond academia. The time between research being conducted and impact being created can vary by discipline and project. In the case when pathways from research to impact is not linear, a typical issue in fundamental disciplines, triangulating the relationship between the underpinning research and impact claimed is challenging. This requires careful planning and clear articulation, to illustrate the research and significance of the impact with relevant supporting evidence. In this talk, I will share my experience in constructing an impact case study for UoA10 Mathematical Sciences. I will describe our novel research in medical statistics and their impact with national and international reach in health and care. The impact case study was drawn upon the following examples: a meta-analysis within the Cochrane review on the effect of cutting portion size on consumption of food; a Stata command to regenerate individual level time-to-event data from published survival curves; and the use of the difference in restricted mean survival time as an alternative to hazard ratios when analysing time-to-event outcomes.
Bio of Speaker
Dr Yinghui Wei is Associate Professor of Statistics at the University of Plymouth. Her research interests centre on the development of statistical methodology and the applications to medicine, clinical trials, epidemiological studies and evidence synthesis in health. She led an impact case study “Improved health research and practice through advancing statistical methods and applications” for REF2021 UoA10 Mathematical Sciences at University of Plymouth. She recently held an MRC fellowship grant “Using data to improve public health: COVID-19 secondment” to work within the COVID-19 Longitudinal Health and Wellbeing National Core Study to investigate the impact of COVID-19 infection on population health.
