Pre-conference Workshop
Scientist Knowledge Translation Training
May 27 & 28, 2010, Jasper Park Lodge, Jasper Alberta
In Canada and abroad, a growing emphasis is being placed upon the utilization and impact of health research. Scientists are increasingly required to include knowledge transfer plans in their research grant proposals, ensuring that their research is reaching appropriate audiences, and having a positive impact on decision making.
Dr. Melanie Barwick Ph.D.C.Psych., and Dr. Donna Lockett Ph.D. will lead an intensive two-day workshop designed to provide health researchers with the essential skills needed to plan knowledge translation strategies.
Registration is limited to 25 participants so register early. The cost of $250 + GST includes breakfast, lunch and supper on May 27, and breakfast and lunch on May 28, 2010.
