Grant: Planning and Dissemination Grants - Institute/Initiative Community Support

The Canadian Donation and Transplantation Research Platform (CDTRP) is developing a plan for a future online Education Hub that will improve access to training materials, tools, and educational resources across Canada. At present, these resources are spread across different CDTRP platforms, which can make them harder to find, use, and share effectively. This project is a planning initiative, not a website development project, and its purpose is to establish the evidence needed to guide a future Education Hub that is useful, sustainable, and responsive to user needs. The project has three main components. First, a multi-stakeholder working group will bring together researchers, trainees, educators, patient, family, and donor partners, and other knowledge users to identify priorities, governance needs, and key functions for the future Hub. Second, the team will review the existing Patient, Family, and Donor portal to identify lessons learned about usability, maintenance, content management, and sustainability. Third, the team will conduct a content inventory of existing CDTRP educational resources to identify what is already available, what is missing, and what should be prioritized for future inclusion. Together, these activities will produce stakeholder-informed recommendations for the future Education Hub, including priority features, governance considerations, and content gaps. This planning and dissemination work will help ensure that the next phase of development is grounded in user needs, informed by past experience, and aligned with CDTRP's broader knowledge mobilization goals.
