Knowledge Translation (KT) is the term used by the Canadian Institutes
of Health Research (CIHR) to describe the process of moving health
research evidence into accessible formats for individuals to use. The
aim is to bridge the know-do gap in health care to improve quality care.
Knowledge Translation (KT) is the study of methods to close this gap and
of the barriers and facilitators embedded in the process. This means
that KT methods should be an integral component of all research project
dissemination plans.
There is a burgeoning number of accessible websites that serve as
comprehensive repositories of Knowledge Translation resources for key
stakeholders such as researchers, students, clinicians, decision-makers,
patients and interested individuals.
So the aim at iCAHE is to provide an entry point for individuals who
wish to learn about KT and connect with a wide range of KT resources.
Aspens typically grow in large groups (colony) from a single seedling
and new stems in the colony may appear at up to 40 metres from the
original tree. Each individual tree can live for 40–150 years above
ground, but the inter-connected network of roots can survive for
thousands of years, sending up extra nutrients when a tree is weakened
and new trunks as the older trees die above ground.
For this reason, we have chosen the Aspen as the overarching theme for
our KT resource page. The same attributes of relationships,
interconnected networks, communities, and bridging and exchange for
mutual benefit underpin optimal and ethical knowledge translation.
