What is knowledge mobilization?

Knowledge mobilization, which includes knowledge transfer, dissemination, exchange, co-creation, and translation, is the purposeful and active process of moving knowledge/evidence from research, practice, policy, and lived experience into active use for a public good - in our case, improvements to child and youth health, healthcare, and health systems.

Effective knowledge mobilization is built upon meaningful trusting relationships with those most impacted by the knowledge or evidence being mobilized. Deeply understanding the needs and preferences of our many audiences is required to tailor the evidence so that it is relevant, acceptable, useful, and useable. The SPARK Knowledge Mobilization Program, its components, and offerings aim to get the right evidence into the right hands at the right time in order to inform practice, policy, research, and/or the experience of care.
