The Knowledge Mobilization (KM) Consultation Service is a program to support DAC research teams with their KM needs at any stage of the research process.

DAC researchers who would like to use this service can fill in a needs assessment survey by clicking the link or scanning the QR code below.

Julie Makarski (Research Manager and Implementation Support Practitioner, DAC KM Program)will follow-up to schedule a meeting to co-create your KM plan.

Through the DAC 2.0 KM Program, we aim to increase knowledge and capacity in knowledge mobilization across the DAC Network and to support DAC members in their knowledge mobilization goals and activities.

Knowledge Mobilization: What is it, why is it important and how do we achieve it?

Dr. Monika Kastner, lead of the Diabetes Action Canada Knowledge Mobilization program, will explore how knowledge mobilization and implementation science can bridge the 17-year gap between discovery and practice, ensuring timely application of evidence in healthcare.

Knowledge Mobilization

Knowledge mobilization (KM) involves activities that help create and use research in practical ways. For example, working together with patient partners to develop research and sharing the results with others are both KM activities. The goal of KM is to close the gap between research (what we know) and practice (what we do), enabling research to be applied in real-world settings more quickly to improve the lives of patients and the public.
