Researchers generally do an excellent job tracking the scientific impacts of their scholarship in ways that are relevant for academia (e.g., publications, grants) but too often neglect to focus on broader impacts on population health and equity. The National Cancer Institute's Implementation Science Centers in Cancer Control (ISC3) includes 7 P50 Centers that are interested in broad measures of impact. We provide an overview of the approach underway within the ISC3 consortium to identify health and social impacts.
ISC3 adapted and applied the Translational Science Benefits Model (TSBM) to identify the impact on the discipline of D&I science and to consider dissemination and implementation (D&I) impacts in the four original TSBM domains: (1) clinical; (2) community; (3) economic; and (4) policy. To collect data from all Centers, we: (1) co-developed a set of detailed impact indicators with examples; (2) created a data collection template; and (3) summarized the impact data from each center.
Based on data from 48 ISC3 pilot studies, cores, or consortium activities, we identified 84 distinct benefits. The most common impacts were shown for implementation science (43%), community (28%), and clinical (18%). Frequent audiences included primary care providers, public health practitioners, and community partners. ISC3 members highlighted the need for product feedback, and storytelling assistance to advance impact.
The ISC3 consortium is using a participatory approach to successfully apply the TSBM, thus seeking to maximize the real-world impacts of D&I science. The D&I field needs to prioritize ways to more fully document and communicate societal impacts.
研究人员通常在以与学术界相关的方式（例如出版物、资助）追踪其学术成果的科学影响方面做得很好，但往往忽视关注对人群健康和公平性的更广泛影响。美国国家癌症研究所癌症控制实施科学中心（ISC3）包括7个P50中心，这些中心关注广泛的影响衡量指标。我们概述了ISC3联盟正在采用的确定健康和社会影响的方法。
ISC3采用并应用了转化科学效益模型（TSBM）来确定对传播与实施（D&I）科学学科的影响，并在TSBM的四个原始领域中考虑传播与实施（D&I）影响：（1）临床；（2）社区；（3）经济；以及（4）政策。为了从所有中心收集数据，我们：（1）共同制定了一套带有示例的详细影响指标；（2）创建了一个数据收集模板；以及（3）汇总了每个中心的影响数据。
基于来自48项ISC3试点研究、核心项目或联盟活动的数据，我们确定了84种不同的效益。实施科学（43%）、社区（28%）和临床（18%）显示出最常见的影响。常见的受众包括初级保健提供者、公共卫生从业者和社区合作伙伴。ISC3成员强调了产品反馈和故事讲述协助以推进影响的必要性。
ISC3联盟正在采用参与式方法成功应用TSBM，从而力求使D&I科学在现实世界中的影响最大化。D&I领域需要优先考虑更全面记录和传达社会影响的方法。
