Grant: Dissemination Events

To meet the demand for enhancing knowledge translation (KT) research capacity in Canada, and in response to feedback from graduate students across the country, we are proposing to host a 2-day KT Summer Institute in 2010 in conjunction with the Annual General Meeting of KT Canada, a CIHR-funded Clinical Research Initiative. The objective of the 2010 KT Summer Institute is to provide an opportunity for dissemination and exchange amongst trainees interested in KT research on the topic of developing KT interventions and in particular to: •Develop an understanding of different approaches to developing a KT intervention •Explore the challenges of planning and completing KT research •Gain better understanding of the research gaps in the field of intervention development •Investigate the contribution of different disciplinary and methodological approaches for KT research •Network with other young researchers interested in KT research and KT as well as with mentors experienced in the science and practice of KT. •Experience a supportive training environment that is respectful of the perspectives, tools and approaches of all disciplines.
