Program Description
Knowledge Synthesis Grants support researchers in producing knowledge synthesis reports and evidence briefs that:
- Support the use of evidence in decision making and the application of best practices; and
- Assist in developing future research agendas.
Applicants must address the following three objectives in their proposals:
- State of knowledge, strengths and gaps
- Critically assess the state of knowledge of the future challenge theme under consideration from a variety of sources, as appropriate;
- Identify knowledge strengths and gaps within the theme;
- Acknowledge Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies when appropriate; and
- Identify the most promising policies and practices related to the theme.
- Research data
- assess the quality, accuracy and rigour (i.e., methodological approaches) of current work in the field; and
- Identify strengths and gaps in the quantitative and qualitative data available.
- Knowledge mobilization
- engage cross-sectoral stakeholders (academic, public, private and not-for-profit sectors) and/or First Nations, Inuit and Métis rights holders throughout the project to mobilize knowledge related to promising policies and practices; and
- use effective knowledge mobilization methods to facilitate the sharing of research findings with cross-sectoral stakeholders and Indigenous rights holders.
This Knowledge Synthesis Grants funding opportunity is guided by the following questions:
- Drawing on domestic, international and/or cross-sectoral evidence, what can researchers tell us about these issues?
- How might the findings guide public policy, practice and research agendas for Canada and the world in the immediate and long term?
