What This Assessment Measures
Four Capabilities Behind Effective Researcher Engagement
The assessment is built around the RAMP Framework, four capabilities that help researchers engage effectively across research translation pathways.
Researcher Role
Clarifies where researchers contribute across research translation pathways.
Audience Awareness
Builds understanding of stakeholder priorities, questions, and decision contexts.
Messaging Mastery
Develops the judgment to communicate technical work clearly and appropriately across different situations.
Powerful Presentations
Builds confidence and effectiveness in high-value conversations and presentations.
Who It's For
Designed for Leaders Supporting Research Translation
This assessment is designed for leaders in technology transfer, industry partnerships, research development, innovation programs, and related functions who regularly work with researchers in external or cross-functional stakeholder interactions.
When answering, think about the researchers you regularly work with in these interactions. Base your responses on your typical experience rather than exceptional individuals or researchers outside your area of visibility.
Why It Matters
Research Translation Has Evolved.
Researcher Development Should Evolve With It.
Research institutions have built increasingly sophisticated teams and programs to support technology transfer, industry partnerships, and other pathways to impact. Those systems still depend on researchers engaging effectively at critical moments.
Yet the capabilities required for those interactions are often left to individual experience.
This assessment helps make those capabilities visible so you can see what is working and where focused development may be valuable.
In Practice
Researcher Engagement Capability Can Be Developed
“It’s important for researchers to be able to effectively explain their technologies in non-technical terms to entrepreneurs and business owners. This coaching program gave researchers a lot of practice and the professional feedback needed to gain confidence in presenting to business leaders.”
— Dr. Jennifer Caldwell, Director of Technology Transfer, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
