Description of the Science Impact Framework
The framework illustrates the “Historical Tracing Method” with 5 domains of CDC scientific influence that define degrees of impact that may not be chronological (the degree of impact is not necessarily a progression; therefore, events captured may not be reflected at every domain). In addition, there may be loop-back at any point. Health outcomes are the ultimate goal – driven by the 5 domains of influence. Key indicators are listed for each domain of influence as a way to track and qualify events at each domain of influence. These indicators are flexible, and the ones listed are some examples.
