Australian launch of 'world leading' HERG report into the impact of breast cancer research
A HERG report evaluating the returns of the $100 million research investment of Australia's National Breast Cancer Research was launched in Sydney on 9 April 2013. The report, written by Claire Donovan, Teresa Jones and Stephen Hanney, uses HERG's Payback Framework across eight different measures of impact across the research continuum. Carole Renouf, NBCF's Chief Executive Officer, described HERG as 'the world leader in evaluating the impact of health and medical research', and NBCF patron, Sarah Murdoch, said that 'based in what is considered to be the most comprehensive evaluation methodology of research impact in the world, we are proud of this first report card and intend it to be the basis of more in the future. With our hands on our hearts, we can now demonstrate that community funds invested in research through NBCF have been well spent.'
