null Beyond the Paper – Knowledge Mobilization Grants for Inclusive Science

Overview
Knowledge mobilization is the process of moving research into action by making it accessible, understandable, and useful to the people who can benefit from it.

The Beyond the Paper – Knowledge Mobilization Grants for Inclusive Science competition supports RI-MUHC researchers in transforming research into meaningful impact. Funded through the Integral Mentorship for Inclusive Science (Mentorat intégral pour la science inclusive, MISI) project, this initiative will award 10 grants of $3,000 each to support the development of innovative, inclusive, and community-engaged knowledge mobilization (KM) projects.

Projects should target women and Indigenous communities (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis) in health research and strengthen the translation of research into practice, policy, and community action.

Funded by:
The MISI Project, supported by the NovaScience Program in partnership with the Ministère de l’Économie, de l’Innovation et de l’Énergie | Gouvernement du Québec.
