背景:监控,评估与学习(MEL)是研究的一个组成部分,方案和政策的制定和实施。然而,用于监测和评估跨学科研究项目的MEL方法通常是非正式的,报告不足。本文介绍了UKRIGCRF针对障碍中心(AASH)的MEL协议。
方法:AASH对印度儿童发育迟缓进行跨学科研究,印度尼西亚和塞内加尔共有23个不同的工作包。将实施特定项目的MEL框架和方法。将制定一个逻辑框架,以监测和评估整个外地地点的研究活动,包括招募的参与者人数,问卷,测量和程序完成。使用Tableau和Glasscube的MEL仪表板将用于跟踪和报告进度,项目的里程碑和成果。仪表板输出将报告为数字和百分比,与其他图形/图表,便于可视化。将开发一个“学习”框架,以概述传播研究结果的适当渠道。这包括一种变革理论,阐明了项目在影响政策方面的总体野心,实践和研究,以及相关利益相关者评估知识的战略参与,有效参与和传播研究结果的态度和最佳实践。
背景:伦敦卫生与热带医学学院伦理委员会(17915/RR/17513)授予了伦理批准;国家营养研究所(ICMR)-卫生与家庭福利部,印度政府(CR/04/I/2021);健康研究伦理委员会,印度尼西亚大学和CiptoMangunkusumo医院(KET-887/UN2。F1/ETIK/PPM.00.02/2019);和国家健康研究伦理委员会(CNERS),塞内加尔(议定书SEN19/78)。这项工作的结果将发表在同行评审的期刊上,在会议上提出并分发给决策者和研究界。
BACKGROUND: Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) is an integral part of research, programme and policy development and implementation. However, MEL methods used to monitor and evaluate interdisciplinary research projects are often informal and under-reported. This article describes the MEL protocol of the UKRI GCRF Action Against Stunting Hub (AASH).
METHODS: The AASH conducts interdisciplinary research into childhood stunting in India, Indonesia and Senegal across 23 distinct work packages. Project-specific MEL framework and methods will be implemented. A logframe will be developed to monitor and evaluate the research activities across the field sites including the number of participants recruited, questionnaires, measurements and procedures completed. MEL dashboards using Tableau and Glasscubes will be used to track and report progress, milestones and outcomes of the project. Dashboard outputs will be reported as numbers and percentages, with additional graphs/charts for easy visualisation. A \'learning\' framework will be developed to outline appropriate pipelines for the dissemination of the research findings. This includes a theory of change explicating the overarching ambitions of the project in influencing policy, practice and research, and strategic engagement of relevant stakeholders to evaluate knowledge, attitudes and best practices for impactful engagement and dissemination of the research findings.
BACKGROUND: Ethical approval was granted by the Ethics Committee of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (17915/RR/17513); National Institute of Nutrition (ICMR)-Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India (CR/04/I/2021); Health Research Ethics Committee, University of Indonesia and Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (KET-887/UN2.F1/ETIK/PPM.00.02/2019); and the National Ethics Committee for Health Research (CNERS), Senegal (Protocole SEN19/78). Findings from this work will be published in peer-reviewed journals, presented in conferences and disseminated to policy makers and research communities.
