Assessing the Impact of the American Heart Association's Research Portfolio: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association CIRCULATION Creager, M. A., Hernandez, A. F., Bender, J. R., Foster, M. H., Heidenreich, P. A., Houser, S. R., Lloyd-Jones, D. M., Roach, W. H., Roger, V. L., Amer Heart Assoc Res Comm 2022; 146 (18): E246-E256Abstract
A task force composed of American Heart Association (AHA) Research Committee members established processes to measure the performance of the AHA's ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ portfolio and evaluated key outcomes that are fundamental to the overall success of the program. This report reviews progress that the AHA ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ program has had in achieving its goals relevant to the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ programs in the AHA's ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ portfolio from 2008 to 2017. Comprehensive performance metrics were identified to assess the impact of AHA funding on ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ers' career progress and ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ outcomes. Metrics included bibliometric analysis (ie, tracking of publications and their impact) and career development measures (ie, subsequent grant funding, intellectual property, faculty appointment/promotion, or industry position). Publication rates ranged from Ëœ0.5 to 4 publications per year, with a strong correlation between number of publications per year and later career stage. The Field-Weighted Citation Index, a metric of bibliometric impact, was between 1.5 and 3.0 for all programs, indicating that AHA awardee publications had a higher citation impact compared with similar publications. To gain insight into the career progression of AHA awardees, a 2-year postaward survey was distributed. Of the Postdoctoral Fellowship recipient respondents, 72% obtained academic ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ positions, with the remaining working in industry or government ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ settings; 72% of those in academic positions obtained additional funding. Among respondents who were Beginning Grant-in-Aid and Scientist Development Grant awardees, 45% received academic promotions and 83% obtained additional funding. Measuring performance of the AHA's ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ portfolio is critical to ensure that its strategic goals are met and to show the AHA's commitment to high-quality, impactful ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½.
