Our conceptualization of 'exchange' is also more broad, and most examples of it in our sample do not reflect the in-depth process of linkage and interaction between researchers and knowledge users promoted by KT researchers e.g., [ 37, 59].
The in-depth process evaluation practices were a group of practices in the QICKD trial which received the same intervention as the main trial practices but were also observed so we could learn about programme fidelity (i.e. the extent to which the intervention ran as planned) and intervention exposure (i.e. the extent to which members of trial practices were exposed to the intervention) [ 19, 15].
This analysis not only underscores the importance of supplementing effectiveness evaluations with qualitative process evaluations in order to contextualise the outcomes and impacts observed, but also makes the case for conducting in-depth process evaluations throughout the project cycle (and not merely at the end of the project).
This necessitates a practical analysis and control strategy derived on the premise of in-depth process understanding.
The results reveal in-depth process information that can be used for further validation of modeling studies and adopted for the industrial practice.
While our research has been largely informed by the PRO literature, we have chosen to use the term 'patient-centered' rather than 'patient-reported' in the title of this paper in order to denote that our work is the result of an in-depth process which puts the patient and his/her experience at the center of the process of identifying and determining meaning for emergent outcomes.
However, this paper has also demonstrated the value of undertaking in-depth process evaluation alongside the development and conduct of an RCT [ 32], in an iterative manner that allows for timely feedback to optimise processes where necessary.
The need for thorough understanding of the dynamics of complex interventions is recognised within the UK Medical Research Council's framework for complex healthcare interventions [ 1] and the value of undertaking in-depth process evaluation of such interventions is both well understood and widely advocated [ 2].
They modeled the program on the in-depth interview process at Goldman and McKinsey, which require applicants to tackle math and logic problems.
The current study proposes a multi-scale numerical model to simulate the in-depth pyrolysis process of a charring ablator.
The principal investigator and the research assistant selected the research participants, closely monitored the in-depth interview process, took field notes and had regular meetings with the RA.
