Assessing Empirical Evidence for KTE Readiness

About the Webcast:
This webcast outlines a newly created tool to help individuals interested in knowledge translation & exchange (KTE)--e.g., researchers, knowledge brokers, and others--to assess created research for KTE potential. Not all knowledge is born equal; it exists on a continuum of readiness for use. Thus, even though knowledge may exist to address an identified problem, it may not yet be ready for use. The purpose of the End of Grant Readiness Tool is to help you determine how ‘ready’ your knowledge might be, and the corresponding KTE activities that may be relevant.
This tool is designed for empirical, end-of-grant KT activities. That is to say, some research has been conducted (either by you or an outside source), and now you want to know what you can/should do with that knowledge. The tool consists of two major sections: (1) an assessment of the quality and strength of the evidence supporting the knowledge and (b) an assessment of the significance of the knowledge to stakeholders and end-users. Each section is scored, based on criteria, and the final score is used to help guide decisions about KT activities based on three broad categories of ‘readiness.’ There are no CRC-CEUs available for this webcast.
