Knowledge translation: bridging the disability research-to-practice gap

This article provides two studies to show how a Knowledge Translation (KT) framework, the Knowledge to Action Process, can be used and applied in combination with a KT plan to assist in the integration of research-based evidence. Because KT is emerging in the field of disability as a key aspect of bridging the research-to-practice gap, Dew and Boydell (2017) felt it important to provide examples that follow best practices using a conceptual framework like the Knowledge to Action Process. The examples showed that using the Knowledge to Action Process helped ensure stakeholders' buy-in and enhanced the likelihood of research influencing practice and policy.
