Making Knowledge Translation Work!

The Office of Research Services will be organizing a series of grant application preparation sessions on specialized topics this Spring at the Bannatyne Campus will be focused on putting together an effective Knowledge Translation (KT) plan.

Need assistance in writing a KT plan? Not sure what integrated KT means and how to involve your partners and those who will ultimately use your findings in the research process? Not sure what makes an effective and substantive KT plan or activities? Wondering what you can do besides publish as part of your end-of-grant KT plan?

Come and participate in this discussion on effective KT planning and stakeholder engagement, with presentations by Dr. Kristy Wittmeier, KT Director of the University’s George and Fay Yee Centre for Healthcare Innovation SUPPORT Unit and Innovations & Best Practice Coordinator for Physiotherapy (WRHA), and Dr. John Walker, Professor, Department of Clinical Health Psychology and lead researcher on several CIHR-funded grants on KT and mental health involving a variety of health professional and community-based partners.

Effective KT planning has become an essential part of the research process and this is reflected in most agency funding applications. The presentations and discussion will have a health focus, but are open to all researchers.

Interested attendees are asked to RSVP to Nancy Klos by April 16th to confirm your attendance Nancy.Klos@ad.umanitoba.ca
