Knowledge Translation/Evidence
Method evidence record

Knowledge Translation

Knowledge Translation (KT) is the systematic synthesis, dissemination, exchange, and application of research findings to improve health outcomes and healthcare practice. First formalized by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research in 2004, KT recognizes that evidence generation alone does not automatically change clinical or policy behaviour, and structures a purposeful process to bridge the gap between research and practice.
