The Melbourne Children's Knowledge Translation and Research Impact Project
Published on by Luke Stevens
Achieving research impact is a dynamic and complex process affected by interactions, relationships and systems. Researchers, clinicians, educators, stakeholders, campus leaders and knowledge users all have a role in maximising impact.
The Project:
• identified four organisational enablers of knowledge translation and research impact
• identified seven facilitators of knowledge translation and research impact
• devised the Melbourne Children's Knowledge Translation and Research Impact Framework (the Framework)
• applied the Framework to four existing projects
• formulated recommendations to advance knowledge translation and research impact for Melbourne Children's.
