on Strategies for Knowledge Translation in Health

19 July 2001

The Canadian Institutes of Health Research is pleased to announce the launch of a Request for Applications (RFA) on Strategies for Knowledge Translation in Health. This RFA calls for one-year research proposals in five areas:

1. Understanding Canadian capacity to support uptake and application of health research.

2. Understanding knowledge translation activities currently employed by health researchers.

3. Refining our understanding about what works and what doesn't in knowledge translation.

4. Understanding the knowledge translation research community.

5. Developing and validating approaches to knowledge translation in specific areas of health.

The RFA can be accessed through the following link on the CIHR website: http://www.cihr.ca/funding_opportunities/cihr_funding_pgms/req_for_proposal/kt_e.shtml

We encourage you to share this news and circulate the RFA to any researchers who may be interested in contributing to our understanding of knowledge translation, including those from the behavioural and social sciences, humanities, education and communications fields.
