The Knowledge Translation (KT) team comprises senior, mid- and early career researchers, several of whom have joint appointments with industry partners. They provide leadership, support, advice and mentoring to integrate and embed knowledge translation throughout our research activity. This encompasses working with people with lived experience, co-design, evidence synthesis, implementation science, health and social economics and digital innovation.
The KT team also engage with a wide range industry partners and people with lived experience on translation and implementation projects. Their knowledge and expertise ensure translation of research outputs is part of the core competencies of all Institute researchers.
