Purpose
The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) defines knowledge translation (KT) as “a dynamic and iterative process that includes synthesis, dissemination, exchange and ethically-sound application of knowledge to improve the health of Canadians, provide more effective health services and products and strengthen the health care system”. As there are many aspects of KT to consider, these planning tools will assist you in considering all aspects of KT as they relate to your research.

This tool provides worksheets to identify research inputs, highlights for funding, skills, outputs, and how to contribute to management and policy decisions.
