2008

Abstract
Dit rapport brengt verslag uit van het Strategisch
Onderzoek RIVM (SOR) in 2008, het eigen onderzoeksbudget van het RIVM. Dit
onderzoeksgeld is bedoeld om te voorzien in de expertise en kwaliteit om nu
en in de toekomst de taken voor de opdrachtgevers adequaat uit te kunnen
voeren. In 2008 is ongeveer 12,9 miljoen euro aan SOR besteed.
Het verslagjaar omvat het tweede jaar van de vierjaarlijkse cyclus van
SOR-onderzoek die in 2007 is gestart. De uitvoering van de meeste projecten
is in 2008 goed op stoom gekomen, wat tot een groot aantal publicaties heeft
geleid. Er zijn 78 publicaties verschenen in peer-reviewed tijdschriften en
er zijn 62 publicaties ingediend. Bij twee derde van de verschenen
publicaties is een medewerker van het RIVM eerste, tweede of laatste auteur.
Er zijn ook een groot aantal andere producten opgeleverd, te weten 36
(brief)rapporten, 105 lezingen op internationale congressen, 14 websites, 19
databases en 22 instrumentaria zoals modellen. Daarnaast is de voortgang
terug te zien in aanvullende opdrachten en de participatie van het RIVM in
internationale projecten. Ook ontwikkelt de samenwerking met externe
onderzoeksinstituten zich goed.
Het rapport geeft een indicatie van de wetenschappelijke en maatschappelijke
impact van het SOR-onderzoek. Ten opzichte van wetenschappelijke
referentietijdschriften is meer dan gemiddeld goed gescoord. De
maatschappelijke impact wordt gebaseerd op scores op een aantal indicatoren,
die de komende jaren worden gevolgd. De index voor 2008 is voor de meeste
speerpunten hoger dan in 2007.Dit is onder meer het gevolg van een groeiend
aantal vervolgopdrachten, het gebruik van de resultaten in beleid of
richtlijnen en externe verzoeken om advies naar aanleiding van de
SOR-projecten.
In this document, the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) reports on progress that was made in 2008 within its Strategic Research Programme (SOR). The Strategic Research Programme helps the institute to anticipate upcoming research questions, to ensure the quality of its scientific expertise and to participate fully in international research networks. In 2008, about 12.9 million Euro was allocated to work carried out within the Programme. The current Programme runs from 2007 to 2010. Most SOR projects reached full speed in 2008, which resulted in a sharp increase in the number of research publications. A total of 78 SOR-related papers were published or accepted for publication in international, peer-reviewed journals, another 62 papers were submitted for publication. Two thirds of the published papers had RIVM staffers as first, second and/or last author. Strategic research also produced many other products including 36 (letter)reports, 105 talks at international meetings, 14 websites, 19 data bases en 22 tools such as computer models. Progress could also be measured in terms of RIVM gaining follow-up assignments, taking part in international research projects and further expanding its long-term collaboration networks with other institutes. This annual report monitors the Programmes impact on science and society in 2008. Research output quantity rose, while on the whole peer-reviewed research papers were accepted or published in journals with higher-than-average impacts. To measure the Programmes impact on society, a number of indicators have recently been developed. Performance on these indicators will be monitored over the coming years. In 2008 the index increased, mainly the result of increasing follow-up assignments, the use of the results in policy and external requests for advice.
