A framework has been developed to facilitate collaboration and coordination for the planning and delivery of knowledge translation and transfer activities from pan-Canadian research to feed innovation on Canadian dairy farms.
Establish a national framework for knowledge translation and transfer
A network of extension stakeholders is developped to maximize the effectiveness of the transfer of research results to Canadian dairy farmers.
Maximize reach for knowledge translation and transfer tools and materials through delivery channels
Information from research results has been translated, adapted and transferred with the aim to increase innovation on farms.
Develop and implement a national knowledge translation and transfer plan
Canadian dairy farmers' investments in research, the role of research in supporting continuous improvement on farms, and the successful adoption of new knowledge from research, have been communicated.
Develop and implement a communications plan
Prepare and implement a communications plan to report on research investments that contribute to the sector's improvement, innovation, sustainability and success.
“Defined as the transformation of scientific knowledge into use through synthesis, exchange, dissemination, dialogue, collaboration and brokering among researchers and end-users.”
The Research Portal is operated by a collaborative effort between Dairy Farmers of Canada
and the Canadian Dairy Network.
