Workshop to introduce concepts of knowledge translation

Have you heard about knowledge translation but aren’t sure exactly what it is? Do you leave that section of your grant application until the end because you’re not sure where to start or how to plan?

Then WE-Spark Health Institute has the workshop for you.

Its introductory “KT 101 Workshop,” via Microsoft Teams at noon Friday, May 28, is open to all levels and research backgrounds.

“Knowledge translation is an important process of information exchange between researchers or experts in a field, and knowledge users,” says Adriana Baggio, the institute’s knowledge translation co-ordinator. “It’s about taking what we learn and making it available and accessible for use in practice, learning, planning, and policy-making. Simply put, it translates knowledge into real-world application.”

The workshop will review the concepts of knowledge translation, building a KT toolkit, and how to start a KT plan. Participants will leave with a checklist to use as a reference for future projects. Click here to register.
