Knowledge Translation Solutions for Overcoming Barriers to Research Use

Researchers can use knowledge translation activities to promote the use of rigorous study findings. The goal of knowledge translation is for targeted audiences to learn how to apply relevant research evidence to their lives. When people become more aware and knowledgeable about research, they can change their own behavior—or the policies and practices of their organizations—in ways that ground action in scientific evidence. Speakers at this conference will help attendees identify barriers to research application and strategies to overcome them. This free, online event is designed for National Institute on Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) grantees, but all are welcome.
