4. Knowledge Translation
Summary:
- The KT Branch will provide funding for applications that are determined to be relevant to the following area:
- Integrated KT Dissemination Events:
- Integrated KT events involve knowledge-users in the planning and implementation of the dissemination activities beyond their role as an audience for the research evidence. Knowledge-users may be involved in interpreting the research evidence, identifying appropriate audiences, crafting dissemination messages, developing and executing dissemination/implementation plans, tools creation, and media engagement.
- Events may focus on, for example:
- Researcher-knowledge-user exchange
- How to 'scale-up' or amplify effective interventions in other / larger / broader settings
- Integrating research evidence into practice or policy
- Exchange of a synthesized body of knowledge actively involving both researchers and knowledge-users (i.e. knowledge-user involvement goes beyond the role of information recipient)
Funds Available
- The total amount available for this funding opportunity is $50,000. This amount may increase if additional funding partners decide to participate.
- The maximum amount awarded for a single grant is $25,000 per annum for up to 1 year.

Review Process and Evaluation
Relevance Review
CIHR and partner organizations will provide funding for applications that are relevant to (in alignment with) the objectives and research priority areas described under "CIHR Research Priority Areas" within the Objectives section.
Prior to review, a committee consisting of Institute/Branch staff and Partners, as required will have access to, upon consent of the applicant, full applications and nominative information to conduct relevance review. Such consent is a requirement to be eligible for funding.
Applications that are not deemed to be relevant will be withdrawn from the competition.
The following criteria will be used in conducting the relevance review:
- Alignment of the objectives of the proposed activity with the specific objectives of the CIHR Institute, Initiative, or Branch offering funding through the Dissemination Events program
Funding Decision
Upon completion of the review, the institute/branch and partners will receive the ranking list, ratings and recommendations on funding level for the applications that fall in the fundable range and have been determined to be relevant to the specific research areas and objectives of the initiative. The list will be used for funding decision-making purposes and will remain anonymous unless applicants have provided written consent to share nominative information.
Unless otherwise stated, the applications relevant to the specific research focuses will be funded from the top down as far as the budgets will allow. The remaining applications will be funded by the general pool of funds from the top down as far as budgets will allow.
Applications that receive a ranking below 3.5 will not be funded.
Peer review committees will not be informed of applications submitted for funding through this announcement.
For Peer Review and Evaluation Criteria please refer to the Meetings, Planning and Dissemination Grant: Dissemination Events (Spring 2010 Competition) funding opportunity.
