(2009-03-16) It is my pleasure to announce the publication of "Knowledge to Action: A Knowledge Translation Casebook". This series of knowledge translation (KT) cases spans the breadth of CIHR's health research themes and showcases just a few of the diverse and interesting KT initiatives embarked upon by health researchers. These initiatives range from engaging the media in an informed public policy debate, improving patient care and reducing wait times through better collaboration and cooperation, to helping some of the world's poorest children receive the nutrients they need to grow and thrive. This KT casebook provides valuable insights into the real world of researchers and knowledge-users as they do knowledge translation. Many important ideas and lessons about successful KT in diverse contexts emerge from these cases. "Knowledge to Action: A Knowledge Translation Casebook" is now available on the CIHR website. Please enjoy!
