SUMMARY:KT Canada Summer Institute 2025
DESCRIPTION:2025 KT Canada Summer Institute\nKT Canada is pleased to be co-hosting this year’s Summer Institute with: \nBC SUPPORT Unit \nHealth Research BC \nKnowledge Translation Program\, Unity Health Toronto \nOntaro SPOR Support Unit \nSimon Fraser University Knowledge Mobilization Hub \nUniversity of British Columbia Knowledge Exchange Unit \n InformationGuests & SpeakersApplyAgendaSponsors and PartnersTestimonialsProgramWe are pleased to announce the Knowledge Translation (KT) Canada Summer Institute to be held in Vancouver\, British Columbia\, from June 17-19\, 2025. It’s being held at the Simon Fraser University Harbourfront Centre. The theme for this Summer Institute will be “KT and learning health systems”. \nIn the context of a learning health system (LHS)\, expertise in knowledge synthesis and implementation practice/evaluation are essential. This is illustrated in Figure 2 of this document from the Ontario SPOR Support Unit\, which presents the Learning Health System Action Framework. An LHS environment also provides opportunities for KT scientists to address research questions that advance KT/implementation science\, e.g.\, they might explore the contexts that enable meaningful patient engagement in implementing stroke management guidelines in a health authority. \nThe Summer Institute incorporates both the science and practice of KT. Trainees from the Summer Institute may pursue careers in KT science\, KT practice\, or both\, across various settings. \nWith the theme of KT and LHS\, we will feature a career panel that includes KT/implementation scientists working in LHS environments. They will share how their KT training has shaped their work. \nThe Summer Institute provides participants with the opportunity to increase their understanding of knowledge translation research as well as opportunities and challenges in this field. The Summer Institute will also provide participants with the chance to network with colleagues including national and international KT experts. \nThe Summer Institute is aimed at graduate students\, post-doctoral and clinical fellows\, junior faculty who study issues relevant to KT\, and those who want to learn more about how to advance their research skills in this area. We encourage applications from a wide range of disciplines that span all of CIHR’s research themes (clinical\, health services\, and population health). \nRegistration \nRegistration fee for trainees and fellows will be $480 CAD \nRegistration fee for junior faculty and research staff will be $1\,075 CAD \nPlease note\, accommodations are not included in the cost. We have reserved space with several hotels in the area. \nEmail Meghan.Storey@UnityHealth.to with questions. \n Speakers and facilitators will be a mix of KT Canada faculty and local experts.

SUMMARY:KT Canada Scientific Meeting 2022
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nConference InformationGuest SpeakersRegistrationAgendaProgramFor Abstract Presenters The 2022 KT Canada Annual Scientific Meeting is being held on May 4-6\, 2022 in a *virtual* format. \nThe theme is ‘Developing and evaluating tailored dissemination strategies for different audiences: What have we learned from dissemination science during COVID-19?’ \nThe deadline for submitting abstracts has now passed. \nPlease see the “Guest Speakers” tab for information about conference speakers and the “Registration” tab for information about registering. \nFurther updates will be posted here\, on our Twitter account (@KTCanada) and in the KT Canada weekly newsletter. \nFor questions please contact Meghan.Storey@UnityHealth.to. \n \nDr. Rinad Beidas \nRinad Beidas\, PhD\, is the Director of the Penn Medicine Nudge Unit; Founder and Director of the Penn Implementation Science Center at the Leonard Davis Institute (PISCE@LDI); and Associate Director at the Center for Health Incentives and Behavioral Economics (CHIBE). She is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry; Medical Ethics and Health Policy; and Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Major scientific discoveries have produced scores of evidence-based practices (EBPs) to improve health and mental health. Unfortunately\, many of these EBPs never make their way into routine health care delivery. Implementation science is the study of methods to promote the systematic uptake of EBPs into routine care with the broad goal of ensuring that scientific discoveries realize their potential and improve people’s lives. Her research program is designed to improve the quality of health and mental health services through implementation science. To conduct this work\, she collaborates closely with key stakeholders\, including patients\, clinicians\, health system leaders\, payers\, and policy-makers\, to develop natural laboratories in which to answer questions of interest. These labs span diverse health care settings\, including community mental health clinics in Philadelphia\, the network of Penn Medicine clinics and hospitals serving individuals with cancer\, health centers providing HIV care\, and the Mental Health Research Network\, a national practice-based research network of 14 healthcare systems. Broadly\, her work entails three primary foci that draw upon the methods of implementation science: (a) understanding the context in which individuals will implement EBPs\, (b) developing implementation approaches that target the factors that may accelerate or hinder implementation\, and (c) conducting pragmatic trials to test these implementation approaches. She does this work across disease areas (e.g.\, mental health\, cancer\, HIV). She has been identified as a leading implementation scientist and has published approximately 200 articles in this area. She serves as MPI on 2 NIH Centers on behavioral economics and implementation science (P50 MH 113840\, P50 CA 244690) and has a strong record of NIH-funded implementation research serving as MPI or PI of 10 NIH grants totaling approximately $30 million dollars. She is deeply committed to training the next generation of implementation scientists and mentors graduate students\, postdoctoral fellows\, and junior faculty through a variety of mechanisms including a T32 at the intersection of implementation science and mental health. Dr. Beidas holds a bachelor of arts in psychology from Colgate University and a doctorate of philosophy in psychology from Temple University. She is the recipient of a number of awards\, including the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies President’s New Researcher Award in 2015; the American Psychological Foundation Diane J.
