Knowledge Translation Core

Projects new or continuing Y6-10

High potential for impact

High Impact Projects (HIPs)

“KT maximizes the impact of research and training in neurodevelopmental disorders”

Aspects of KT Planning

Aspects of Project Management

End user feedback - draft

Problem: Overwhelming

Solution: Short template + longer guide

Template Guide

Solution: Colour blocked sections

Solution: Colour blocked sectionswith “map” of document

Solution: multi-select menus

Solution: multi-select menus

Solution: auto-populated cells

Why is this important?

Helps make KT Planning easier

Why is this important?

Helps KT Core track/project manage 4-5 concurrent projects toward impact

Why is this important?

Impact takes time – even if impact not achieved by Y9 can demonstrate achievements to-date

Why is this important?

Helps move the field of KT forward with new tool

Now what

Prototype (“living document”)

Now what

Future iteration to be informed by feedback (new requirements) discovered during use

Now what

Will explore creating a web-based version
