| Assessment Resource - Leader | PIRU |
| Assessment Resource - Purpose | The Policy Innovation and Evaluation Research Unit (PIRU) began in 2011. They bring together leading health and social care expertise and seek to improve evidence based policy making and its implementation across the NHS, social care and public health. They aim to strengthen policy development at national level by subjecting innovations and other initiatives to speedy, thorough, early stage evaluation. They wish to strengthen evaluation through developing evaluation methods and undertaking evaluative studies initiated in early national policy development. |
| Assessment Resource - Content | PIRU led the 'Evaluation of the Social Impact Bond Trailblazers in Health and Social Care' report. This followed the work that began in 2013 by the Department of Health to develop SIBs in nine sites and involved a range qualitative and quantitative analysis and a look at the SIB model, outcomes measurement and management style. Their research is principally focused on developing evaluation methods and undertaking evaluative studies (for example, of pilots and other forms of structured innovation) initiated at an early stage of national policy development. Their work spans the entire Department of Health and Social Care portfolio of health services, social care and public health policy. |
