The next Scientist Knowledge Translation Training (SKTT™) workshop will be held March 24th and 25th at The Hospital for Sick Children.
A well-developed knowledge translation (KT) plan is emerging as a proposal requirement for health research in Canada and abroad, and there is greater attention to research utilization and research impact. The SKTT™ training course was developed on the premise that scientists are agents of change in creating research impact, promoting research utilization, and ensuring their research findings reach the appropriate audiences. There is a skill set surrounding KT practice, and it is these competencies that the training course was designed to impart.
The SKTT workshop is intended for health science researchers across all four scientific pillars (basic, clinical, health services, population health), who have an interest in sharing research knowledge with (multiple) audiences beyond the traditional academic community, as appropriate, and in increasing the impact potential of their research. The course is also appropriate for KT professionals, policy and decision-makers, and educators, as the focus is on the practice of KT and the universal components of knowledge translation.
