The CTSA Evaluation Unit challenge 
o Demonstrate value in a concrete way to stakeholders 
o Introduce approaches to create a strategic organization 
o Increase alignment between program and institute priorities 
o Provide support to develop goals, target and metrics of success 
o Assess progress toward goals and targets 
o Develop strategies and approaches to improve performance 
o Build tools and best practices to achieve excellence 
o Enable data-driven decision making
At the end of the dayit all comes down to 
Use, Cost, Quality, Outcomes, Impact 
o How we measure and track it (innovation) 
o How we use the data (decision making, continuous improvement)

The right data at the right time is crucial 
o Actionable insight 
o Informs course correcting decisions 
o Adjust service provision (maximize resources  minimize costs)

We need critical data connections 
o Activities + Individuals + Outcomes

A data ecosystem is crucial 
but not enough for a long lasting culture-shift in decision-making
Of more importance 
New approaches + Training + Trust
The possibilities are endless 
o Oakland As (Billy Beane) + Bill James (stats) 
o Laser focus on winning 
o 2003: Run vs walk? Doesnt matter (on-base %) 
o Outcome: Winning team with less money 
o Stats revolution that changed baseball Joe Delessio
The possibilities are endless 
o 2003  budget deficit and on the decline 
o Underestimating core business and strengths 
o Didnt understand where they were making $ 
o Data + operational focus + forecasting needs 
o Worlds largest toy manufacturer
The possibilities are endless 
o Track 
o Analyze 
o Predict 
o Succeed by giving people what they want
The possibilities are endless 
o Mission  Predict, measure, and improve the return on social investments 
o Use data to develop strategies to move the needle on intended outcomes

What can CTSAs do next with data 
to enable new data-driven decision making models for academia? 
to better understand ourselves? 
to identify our unique strengths? 
to measure and articulate our impact? 
to predict success of our clinical and translational research portfolios? 
to strategically invest and do more with less?
