About the training

These days most research grants ask about research impact and or research translation or broader research benefits.

This workshop will show you how translation is the pathway to research uptake, implementation and ultimate impact that creates benefits to society and help you to develop and fine-tune your own plan for success.

This training course was developed on the premise that researchers, and increasingly, other practitioners and educators, are agents of change in creating research impact, promoting research utilisation, and ensuring that research findings reach the appropriate audiences. There is a skillset surrounding KT practice, and it is these competencies that the training course is designed to impart.

Spend four online sessions of three hours immersed in knowledge translation learning, networking with other people doing translation activities and becoming comfortable with planning for translation and the resulting impact.

Feedback from past participants

"Tamika delivered the two-day SKTT course to a group of 25 researchers at Melbourne Children’s. We all came away with greater understanding and ability to apply KT theories, frameworks and approaches in our work. Tamika is an engaging and knowledgeable presenter whose training will help individuals and organisations realise their research impact goals.”

Who Should attend?

Are you a researcher, educator, policymaker, or knowledge translation (KT) professional? Do you want to know more about why KT is relevant? Do you need or want to know how to develop and evaluate a KT plan? Could you benefit from practical KT Training?

The course is appropriate for scientists (basic, clinical, health services, population health) as well as educators, clinicians and KT professionals (e.g., KT Specialist, KT Manager, Knowledge Broker). While the focus is on health, the material is highly relevant to individuals working in other sectors. SKTT is intended to build practical knowledge and skills, and prominent KT theories and models are also introduced.

What you will learn

Terminology and definitions

The first step to succeeding with understanding translation and impact is to know or be aware of the many and varied terms and definitions surrounding this confusing area. For instance, not many people realise that knowledge translation is also known as a pathway to impact!

Translation Strategies

We want you to have the skills to understand both the available strategies and how they have been used before but also in how to determine new and innovative strategies that might work in your project. You will see and experience a raft of strategies and how they working in different contexts.

Engagement and partnership

We will examine the value of relationships, how to work with partners and share more broadly with audiences. Importantly, we will look at how to create these relationships, manage them and involve stakeholders throughout the process, and build foundations for knowledge transfer to policy, practice and industry settings.

Use planning tools

In any project it is important to get your thoughts and the team aligned. We will take you through the Knowledge Translation Planning Template and help you develop your own pathway to impact for an existing or new project.

Tamika was lovely, so approachable and positive and clear in her verbal communication. Great peresenter! - Real life examples of successful and unsuccessful instances of knowledge translation really brought the theory to life and "stuck" - Interactive components with the rest of the team helped consolidate my knowledge from the slides.

Very engaging style of interaction. Mix of video, didactic and participant activity
