Knowledge translation is the art and science of moving evidence into health care policy and practice. The Knowledge Translation Challenge will:

  • Support staff who do not have knowledge translation experience
  • Help design knowledge translation projects
  • Provide access to knowledge translation resources, training mentorship and potential funding

Eligibility

The Knowledge Translation Challenge is designed to support teams of Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH), BC Cancer (BCC), Fraser Health (FH), Northern Health (NH) and Providence Health Care (PHC) clinicians who may not have much knowledge translation expertise but are responsible for moving evidence into practice. There must be a minimum of two people per team. Teams can be inter-professional. All team leaders must be consistently working 0.5 FTE or greater at their organization (full-time, part-time, or casual).
