- 5. Consortia 5
- 6. Consortia • Lessons learned • Build KM into the structure of the consortia • Core program → consortia program • Interaction and involvement are key • Provide support and resources 6
- 7. KM Tools • Advice from end users on facilitating research partnerships http://www.cwn-rce.ca/publications/knowledge- translation/advice-from-research-users-on-facilitating- research-partnerships/ • KM planning tool • What is KM and why do it? • Best practices 7
- 8. KM Research • KM research • Knowledge translation challenges and solutions described by researchers. Shantz, 2012 • Indicators to evaluate impact of knowledge translation and brokering. Levangie, 2011 • Consortia network mapping study. Dimitrova, 2011. • Knowledge translation and knowledge brokering tools and strategies inventory. Jusek, 2011 • Engagement, interpretation and convening functions within intermediary organizations: organizational approach and capacity.

- 9. KM Tools and Research • Lessons learned • Relationships are key • Consult and involve end users • Targeted communication • “So what” not just “what” • Evaluate regularly 9
- 10. Evaluation • Project evaluations • Written and in person • Established criteria 10
- 11. Logic model representation of CWN consortia program Logic model adapted from the University of Wisconsin-Extension logic model: http://www.uwex.edu/ces/pdande/evaluation/evallogicmodel.html
- 12. Evaluation • Longitudinal analysis (under development) • Qualitative & quantitative data • Interviews with researchers, end users • Success stories 12
- 13. Evaluation • Lessons learned • Evaluation is difficult but very important • Qualitative and quantitative methods 13
