Proposed Project: 0990-xxxx Evaluation of the Kidney Innovation
Accelerator (KidneyX).
Abstract: The Office of the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) is
initiating an independent evaluation under the Department of Health &
Human Services (HHS) of the Kidney Innovation Accelerator--or KidneyX--
a public-private partnership between HHS/CTO and the American Society
of Nephrology (ASN).
The KidneyX evaluation involves a mixed-methods design for data
collection and analysis. The evaluation integrates qualitative
techniques, such as document analysis and stakeholder interviews, to
capture the details and effects of processes and changes within the
KidneyX initiative. We will apply quantitative methods, such as surveys
and econometric analysis, in discrete situations in which we find
sufficient certainty and coherence in environmental conditions to
conduct rigorous analysis.
The evaluation will use a data-driven set of methodologies to
address, to the extent possible, the central question of the
effectiveness of KidneyX: The degree to which KidneyX contributed to
any acceleration in the rate of innovation in the targeted area of
kidney technology compared with how innovation would have progressed
without KidneyX.
