Implementing Knowledge Translation Strategies in Funded Research in Canada and Australia: A Case Study

Capacity development for knowledge mobilization: a scoping review of the concepts and practices

“…Scoping allows for establishing a logical relationship between the identified challenge, necessary capacities, potential delivery strategies, and contextual factors such as assumptions, values and available resources. This is often referred to as tailoring or contextualizing capacity development initiatives (Leeman et al, 2015;Bennett et al, 2016;Fairbrother et al, 2016;Leeman et al, 2017;Dobbins et al, 2018;Dobbins et al, 2019;Moore et al, 2016). The scoping process also provides a baseline for KMb challenges that is important for evaluating the outcomes and impact of the intervention (MacGregor et al, 2013;Uneke et al, 2015a;Dobbins et al, 2019;Williamson et al, 2019).…”

“…Therefore, studies that focus on improving alignment between organizational priorities and reward structures for doing KMb often discuss cultivating culture shift or culture change in organizations (Barreno et al, 2013;Przybycien et al, 2011;Ellen et al, 2013;Ayah et al, 2014;Dobbins et al, 2018;Kislov et al, 2018;Smits et al, 2018;Williamson et al, 2019). Other important barriers include resistance to change (Glegg and Hoens, 2016), unclear communication (e.g., clarity of mandates, and roles), insufficient organizational funding, limited access to KMb resources (Yost et al, 2014;Dobbins et al, 2019;Smits et al, 2018;Albers et al, 2020), and ineffective management and leadership for leading initiatives (Briggs et al, 2010;Masood et al, 2018;Hunter et al, 2019;Moore et al, 2016;Kislov et al, 2014;Kislov et al, 2017).…”
