Webinar – How to Develop a Knowledge Mobilization Plan for your Grants or Existing Research Projects: Introducing the KMap Tool
Join us on February 6, 2025, from 1-2 p.m. (EST) for a live webinar on How to Develop a Knowledge Mobilization Plan for your Grants or Existing Research Projects: Introducing the KMap Tool.
Planning for knowledge mobilization (KM) involves preparation, intention, and action. If done early, it can optimize both the mobilization and application of research results and outputs.
Hosted by: Dr. Monika Kastner, Scientific Lead, DAC KM-IS Program
What you’ll learn:
- What the KMap Tool is and how it can help you plan for your grants or existing research projects
- The importance of knowledge mobilization (KM)
- How to use the KMap too,
- Tips to write the KM section of your grants for clinical or preclinical research projects

The WHAT and WHY of Knowledge Mobilization
Video 1: WHAT and WHY of Knowledge Mobilization (9:08mins). Knowledge Mobilization Basics. Learn how we move research results to the ‘real world’ so that we can positively improve health systems, how people access these systems and the health of all those living with diabetes in Canada
HOW to do Knowledge Mobilization
Video 3: HOW to do Knowledge Mobilization (11:06mins). In this third video of our Knowledge Mobilization Basics Video Series, we take a closer look at HOW to do or practice knowledge mobilization. We explore the process of change, which is the essence of knowledge mobilization and implementation science. We share how both the science and practice of knowledge mobilization work together to make change happen.
WHEN to do KM
Video 5: WHEN to do Knowledge Mobilization (7:35mins). When should we plan for knowledge mobilization? Is there a certain or best time to be thinking about how to share the results of our research studies with those who are interested in those results? Learn about the WHEN of knowledge mobilization in the fifth and final video of our Knowledge Mobilization Basics video series.

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). This helps bring research into real-world use more quickly, improving the lives of patients and the public
