Evaluation and Research Service
The Evaluation and Research Service is the competence centre for evaluation and the coordination service for federal government research in the FOPH. It contributes to acquire strategy-relevant knowledge for the Office and its units.
On the basis of evaluations, the Service procures knowledge on strategy development, improving effectiveness and accountability to political actors and the public. The Service coordinates departmental research at the FOPH, draws up the Health Research Concept and provides advice and support to the units on quality assurance in federal government research. It is also responsible for the use of ARAMIS (the Federal government’s research database) in the FOPH as well as for reporting in various areas of federal government research and evaluation.
