CTSAs are a prime example of a complex ecology. Case study methodologies (Yin and Stake) and the Success Case Method (Brinkerhoff) are key approaches to exploring in depth and detail how the CTSA infrastructure supports improvement in clinical and translational research. In particular, it offers opportunities to investigate the relationships necessary for researchers to achieve successful outcomes. Case studies are also flexible and responsive to changing needs of the evaluation. This presentation provides examples from the University of Illinois at Chicago Center for Clinical and Translational Science (UIC CCTS) of how case studies are used to support tracking and evaluation activities

Slides for "Communicating Success Case Studies in Complex Organizations" (includes presentation notes) Abstract: Success case studies can be an effective way to identify underlying patterns, relationships, and dynamics that lead to program success or failure. Identifying successful cases is especially important in complex evaluations, such as Clinical and Translational Science Awards, where successes are definitionally complex and often do not develop in linear or predictable ways. For success case studies to be fully effective, however, evaluators need to find innovative ways to communicate them to diverse stakeholders, who may see them as simply anecdotes or unconnected “stories.” In this talk, we will discuss different approaches we have used at the UC Davis Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC) for presenting success case studies to CTSC leadership, advisory boards, and the broader campus community. The emphasis will be on exploring ways to increase success cases’ accessibility and impact

The evaluation used a mixed-methods approach, which included qualitative and quantitative survey data as well as existing project data, which helped build up a rich evidential picture
Session Description: In order to build program capacity, a programs “success” must be told at many levels. In addition, impacts of prevention programs may not be able to be demonstrated for several years therefore communicating success during the various life stages of a program is important...
