Put your research findings into practice
Knowledge Translation (KT) is a dynamic and iterative process of creating, interpreting, disseminating and applying research knowledge. It is an essential component of a research project that requires researchers’ thorough understanding and their careful attention to the needs and contexts of knowledge users. WCHRI offers education and consultation to our members seeking support in incorporating feasible and ethically responsible KT into their research projects.

Engage patients and other stakeholders in research
Engaging patients (and/or their primary caregivers) and other stakeholders (health care professionals, community organizations, policy and/or decision makers) as partners improves the relevance of research and facilitates the uptake of the findings in practice and policy. It supports efforts of publicly funded research for an open and democratic process that involves people who have vested interests in the outcomes of the research.
Support available
- Building capacity in stakeholder engagement in research.
- Supporting the process of engagement throughout the research trajectory.
- Supporting trainees through the PaCET (Patient and Community Engagement Training) Program.
