Each year the Ontario Hospital Association (OHA) gathers data from participating research institutions across the province. The Research Data and Impact (RDI) dashboard, available exclusively to participating hospitals, provides insights into measures related to research productivity (e.g., number of products commercialized, number of clinical research products started), and financial metrics (e.g., grants, expenses).
Designed specifically with the needs of respondents in mind, the tool allows hospitals to compare their RDI indicators from FY 2013/14 to the most recent fiscal year. The RDI dashboard also facilitates benchmarking against peers, and tracks trends in discrete funding categories. Users can tailor their analyses to meet their unique requirements, ensuring relevant and personalized insights to support informed strategic planning. The recent iteration of this RDI dashboard features several dynamic reports which enable users to export specific indicators of interest to complete deeper dive analyses. These reports include Total Research Investment, Federal Government Investment, Foundation Investment, Direct and Indirect Cost of Research, Industry Investment, Funding for Covid Investment, Researchers and Research Trainees, Commercialization and IP Disclosures, and Clinical Research Projects.
