Evaluating our strategy

We will:

  • Review progress with our strategy during quarterly meetings (with the Strategy Group once this has been developed, and before this with the CRF Manager and other relevant staff).
  • Gather evaluation forms and ongoing feedback on public involvement activities and events as part of goal 4.
  • Towards the end of 2025, obtain feedback via a survey from CRF staff, researchers, research participants, and public members about progress made against each goal. This will inform the next 3 years (2025-2028) of the strategy.
  • Towards the end of 2025, use the UK Standards as an evaluation tool [1] to identify areas of strength and areas for improvement in our public involvement and engagement. This will inform the next 3 years (2025-2028) of the strategy.
  • Towards the end of 2025, invite public members to take part in focus groups or interviews to discuss progress made against each goal and their experience of being involved in the strategy group. This will inform the next 3 years (2025-2028) of the strategy.
  • Use the Public Involvement in Research Impact (PIRI) Toolkit developed by the Marie Curie Research Centre and the Wales Cancer Research Centre [2], to record the contributions public members have made, and the changes to research and practice as a result. See Appendix 3
