The most appropriate criteria and the best approach for evaluating centres concerned with research into health and health services, are matters of academic and policy debate. There is interest in assessing the impact made by research on policy and practice as well as using more traditional peer review of the knowledge produced. In this context the article describes the development of a multidimensional categorization of benefits, or payback, from research and development (R&D) and a model for conducting evaluations of impact. This categorization and model were used during an assessment of two R&D centres funded by a regional office of the National Health Service in the UK. The acceptability of such an approach is discussed in the light of relevant proposals from other authors, changes in the nature of knowledge production and the consequent role of multiple stakeholders.

Key Words: health service research • knowledge reservoir • multidimensional categorization • payback • research centres.
