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.

findings?
2. Identify your audience
• Be specific
3. What is your current situation?
1. SWOT, literature review, awareness
2. How does your issue affect your audience?

Communications Strategy 4. Identify your key message

achieve that change?

• Which tool to reach which audience? (tactics)
6. Implement and Evaluate
What is your current situation?

CAMH ‘App’ to help problem drinking
• ’Saying When’ - mobile version of a
self-monitoring program pioneered
by Dr. Martha Sanchez-Craig.
• Previously a paper-based manual,
the program is clinically sound and
has helped people cut back or quit
drinking successfully for over 25
years.
• “We’ve been waiting for the
technology to catch up to this
program,” said Wayne Skinner,
Deputy Clinical Director at CAMH.
