Applicants and partners must demonstrate their commitment to knowledge utilization and exchange with multiple audiences and through multiple forums such as: collaborative implementation with organizations that may benefit from the program; publications; posting project summary on the CTKC website; and conference presentations. Most importantly, include efforts to ensure that the knowledge gained will work to influence practice within the home and community health sector and have the potential to impact the broader health system.
The ACT Research Grants Program is very interested in community participation and the associated capacity building to achieve sustainable client outcomes achieved via sharing knowledge amongst diverse partners. For this reason, the client is required to play a role in the project. Capacity building also includes human resource development such as the strengthening of research skills for practitioners and application skills for researchers.
