A survey by the National Cancer Institute of Canada on research program restructuring revealed potential biases due to over-represented stakeholder groups. Clearer definitions and strategies are needed for effective stakeholder input in decision-making.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Biomedical Research Policy

Background:

  • The National Cancer Institute of Canada (NCI Canada) conducted a survey to gather stakeholder input on restructuring research programs.
  • The survey aimed to inform decisions regarding fund distribution and research awards.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the effectiveness of a stakeholder survey in gathering representative input for research program restructuring.
  • To identify potential biases in survey responses and their impact on decision-making.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of survey data from NCI Canada stakeholder groups.
  • Examination of respondent representation to identify potential over-representation of certain groups.

Main Results:

  • Certain stakeholder groups were over-represented in the survey respondents.

  • The over-representation may have introduced bias, potentially compromising the validity of the input.
  • Key issues identified include the need for a clear definition of 'stakeholder', multifaceted input-gathering strategies, awareness of technique-induced bias, and a defined feedback utilization process.

    • Conclusions:

    • The survey's effectiveness was potentially compromised by biased representation.
    • Recommendations include developing clear stakeholder definitions, employing diverse engagement strategies, mitigating methodological biases, and establishing transparent processes for using stakeholder feedback in research program decisions.
