IPPH Knowledge Mobilization for Research Impact
Knowledge Mobilization (KM) is core to CIHR-IPPH's commitments, activities and values as a research funder. IPPH's KM activities and efforts are intended to maximize the impact of research with the ultimate goal of enhancing equitable health outcomes, by:
- Convening and connecting researchers, decision-makers, community leaders, policy makers, practitioners and more;
- Promoting the use/uptake of research findings, evidence and impacts in policy and practice;
- Supporting communities with the knowledge they need to advance and promote their own health; and
- Amplifying the voices of equity-denied and rights-holding groups to shape research priorities and processes;
Below is a select key list of KM activities, events and products.
