The success case studies approach examines in depth what works well in a program by describing cases and examining factors leading to successful outcomes. In this article, we describe the use of success case studies as part of an evaluation of the transformation of a health sciences research support infrastructure. Using project-specific descriptions and the researchers' perceptions of the impact of improved research infrastructure, we added depth of understanding to the quantitative data required by funding agencies. Each case study included an interview with the lead researcher, along with review of documents about the research, the investigator, and their collaborators. Our analyses elucidated themes regarding contributions of the Clinical and Translational Science Awards program of the National Institutes of Health to scientific achievements and career advancement of investigators in one academic institution.
成功案例研究方法通过描述案例并审视导致成功结果的因素，深入探究项目中运作良好的方面。在本文中，我们描述了如何将成功案例研究用作对健康科学研究支持基础设施转型评估的一部分。通过使用特定项目描述以及研究人员对改善研究基础设施影响的看法，我们加深了对资助机构所需定量数据的理解。每个案例研究都包括对首席研究员的访谈，以及对有关该研究、研究者及其合作者的文件的审查。我们的分析阐明了国立卫生研究院临床与转化科学奖计划对一所学术机构中研究人员的科学成就和职业发展所做贡献的相关主题。
