Knowledge Mobilization Resources πŸŽ“πŸ“š

Did you know? The Library helps researchers mobilize their research and increase their impact by:  

  • Helping create knowledge mobilization plans for grant applications,  
  • Identifying and providing access to infrastructure, guides, and other asynchronous resources to support knowledge mobilization activities, and  
  • Delivering on demand training and workshops.
