Impact assessment of a national research collaboration improving health outcomes for working-age Australians with disability
Applying FAIT retrospectively to assess a cross-disciplinary research collaboration's impact allowed us to examine multiple benefit domains. The CRE-DH demonstrated impact in advancing knowledge, strengthening capacity, influencing policy and generating economic benefits; evidence on quantifiable community benefit is not yet available. However, our assessment was limited by insufficient data collection on some critical issues, such as disability representation. As a result, we propose several recommendations for applying FAIT in future research collaborations.
