Q&A

• How can knowledge be shared effectively?

  The key to sharing knowledge effectively is understanding the audience, choosing the right channels, and catering to their interests and needs. Communication of research findings should focus on relevance to the audience and be presented in a format they prefer.

• What stages of research does knowledge translation apply to?

  Knowledge Translation (KT) can happen at all stages of research, including identifying research questions, reaching out to stakeholders, and managing explicit and tacit knowledge. Knowledge Management is a crucial strategy in KT to capture and utilize both types of knowledge effectively.

• How is knowledge translation related to pandemic research funding?

  Government organizations and institutions are funding research proposals to examine the impacts of the pandemic on occupational health and safety. Knowledge translation involves partnership models, fostering linkages, and connecting research producers with users for mutual benefit.

• What are the models of knowledge translation and their examples?

  Models of knowledge translation include Model A (driven by researchers) and Model B (driven by knowledge users). Examples include creating comics for community engagement (Model A) and responding to special calls for research funding (Model B).

• Where can the lecture material be found?

  The lecture material is derived from the knowledge translation toolkit, which is available online for free, offering valuable resources to support learning in this area.

• What is the role of research in knowledge translation?

  Research is a systematic investigation of phenomena to generate new knowledge, and it can include applied research. Knowledge translation can be employed at any stage of the research process to share important information with different groups.

• What does knowledge translation involve?
