Supporting Knowledge Mobilization at the University of Ottawa – How can we do better? |
Context
Knowledge Mobilization (KMb) means promoting and facilitating the use of research among knowledge users (stakeholders, decision makers, policy makers, practitioners, community members, patients, etc.) to help them make informed decisions about policies, programs, practices and behaviors. It encompasses a wide range of activities relating to the production and use of knowledge generated from research such as knowledge synthesis, dissemination, and co-creation by researchers and knowledge users (known as integrated KMb). The level of interactions between researchers and knowledge users during the KMb process may vary in complexity and intensity depending on the nature of the research, the findings and the needs of the knowledge users.
Benefits: This present survey aims to assess awareness, use and usefulness of uOttawa KMb resources, tools and support activities, and will be used to improve the KMb institutional support offered to uOttawa research teams, students and research administrators.
Participation: Please complete this brief online survey (which takes approximately 15 minutes to complete). Your decision to complete this survey will be taken as your consent to participate. You do not have to answer all the questions. The survey will be available until September 30, 2021.
Risks: There are no known risks to participating.
Confidentiality and Anonymity: The information that you will share will remain confidential and will be used solely for the purpose mentioned above. The only people who will have access to the research data will be the staff of Research Management Services involved in the development of this survey. In order to minimize the risk of security breaches and to help ensure your confidentiality, we recommend that you use standard safety measures such as signing out of your account, closing your browser and locking your screen or device when you are no longer using them / when you have completed the survey.

Data preservation: The data will be stored on a Survey Monkey server located in Canada. The response to the survey will be extracted from the servers once the data collection period is over and the downloaded Excel file will be password protected and saved on a secure server to which only the Research Management Services staff have access. The data will be deleted from the Survey Monkey server once it has all been retrieved. The Excel file will be kept for a period of five years at which time it will be deleted.
Results: The findings of this survey may be shared in various forms such as presentations and publications with the uOttawa community, other universities and their networks and the broader research community.
