This document discusses knowledge mobilization (KMb) and grant support. It provides statistics on partnerships for grants from 2006-2014, with the majority of funds (55%) coming from postsecondary institutions. It outlines strategies for disseminating research to both academic and non-academic audiences, including traditional academic publications, workshops, social media, and engaging stakeholders. It notes that developing relationships with non-academic partners and integrated KMb strategies takes time, and support is available from the KMb Unit to help plan and implement these strategies.

Dissemination Integrated
Academic
Audience
 Traditional scholarly publication and
creative production
 End of grant workshop or conference
 Academic conference presentation
 Web posting of research outputs, posting
video of choreography
ROs can support the development of
traditional scholarly dissemination strategies.
 Academic collaborators on grant
 Scholarly workshops throughout the grant
 Hosting a wiki or blog to create two-way
conversation with other academics to discuss
emerging findings
 Workshop with peers to reflect on emerging
research findings
ROs can support the integration of academic
audiences throughout the research project.
Non-academic
Audience
 Clear language research summary (see
service offered by KMb Unit)
 Theatre and other non-traditional forms
of research dissemination
 Social media
York’s KMb Unit has distributed a worksheet
to for ROs to use to help faculty disseminate
to non-academic audiences at the end of the
grant.
 Non-academic collaborators or co-applicants
on grant application
 Workshop, town hall, open house
 Hosting a wiki or blog to create 2 way
conversation with non-academics to discuss
emerging findings
 Audit and feedback using panel of non-academic
stakeholders within the grant period
 Participatory action/community based
research
Please contact Michael Johnny

Note 1: Integrated KMb takes time.
“Requests to broker relationships with new collaborators will need 4-6
months to find potential partners, develop trust, mutually develop a
statement of work and develop an appropriate budget. If non-academic
audiences, partners and collaborators are already known, please
contact Michael Johnny for support to develop integrated KMb with non-academic
audiences by September 15 at the latest. Support for non-academic
integrated KMb will be available from the KMb Unit
throughout the funded grant period and Michael Johnny will develop an
in kind costing for that support.”
Oh yeah…
