If knowledge mobilization is the solution then what is the problem? On June 18 I was at lunch with my friends from SSHRC Wayne MacDonald (Director, Corporate Performance and Evaluation) and Craig McNaughton (Director, Knowledge Mobilization and Program Integration). We were enjoying sushi at Festival Japan discussing all things KM and research impact evaluation when […]

No, I haven’t forgotten. On October 2, 2008 I posted chapter 2 in the series KM & TT (read it here) and now, better late than never, Chapter 3. I have previously written about how KM and TT are different but there is a common ground where TT officers and knowledge brokers might find they […]

Posted on June 1, 2009 (November 23, 2021) by Connie Tang

Agnostic. “Someone who us doubtful or noncommittal about something”. KM doesn’t care what you’re researching it only cares how you do it. ResearchImpact recently presented on KM to the Seniors’ Health Research and Transfer Network and Centre of Excellence for Research in Immigration and Settlement. Both groups have a mandate to connect research to policy […]

Knowledge Mobilization: Maximizing your Career Options — Inside, Outside, and Beside the Academy
