Knowledge mobilization
• Knowledge mobilization: The reciprocal and complementary flow and uptake
of research knowledge between researchers, knowledge brokers and
knowledge users—both within and beyond academia — in such a way that
may benefit users and create positive impacts within Canada and/or
internationally, and, ultimately, has the potential to enhance the profile, reach
and impact of social sciences and humanities research. Knowledge
mobilization initiatives must address at least one of the following, as
appropriate, depending on research area and project objectives, context, and
target audience:
• Within academia: informs, advances and/or improves research agendas,
theory and/or methods;
• Beyond academia: Informs public debate, policies; and/or practice;
• enhances/improves services; and/or
• informs the decisions and/or processes of people in business, government, the
media, practitioner communities and civil society.
