Knowledge Transfer & Dissemination

Knowledge translation is defined as “a process connecting contextualized knowledge with its application to improve health and wellness.” (Source: ACRC Glossary and Common Terminology)

KT is an important piece of the research enterprise and a required component for most grant-funded research, including Covenant Health grant offerings.

Some resources that you may find useful:

The CHRC can assist in development and implementation of a KT plan, upon request. There are many opportunities for KT and for Research Dissemination at Covenant Health, including but not limited to:

  • Stakeholder consults, engagement, meetings and workshops
  • Brown Bag meetings and presentations
  • Research Day
  • Covenant Health Research publication
  • Professional Practice Committee review

All researchers who have completed research at Covenant Health, and/or who have received funding for research through Covenant Health, are asked to provide research articles and any other products as a result of their research, and including a Final Report.  All Final Reports are distributed according to thematic areas and are reviewed through Professional Practice to establish opportunities to integrate into practice.

Covenant Health would like to acknowledge that what we refer to as Alberta is the traditional ancestral territory of a diversity of Indigenous peoples and home to Treaty 6, 7, and 8. We honor the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika, the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Métis Homeland. We recognize and give thanks to the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations, all who continue to grace these lands, and all future generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.
