Measuring KMB and Impact

A study of KMb practices of SSHRC researchers

OVERVIEW

This study explores KMb practices of SSHRC researchers across Canada.

Research Design

This study used a survey to assess institutional supports for KMb as well as KMb practices of researchers.

Findings

Few institutional supports are embedded at the institutional level, and those that are often not heavily accessed by researchers. KMb levels by researchers remain modest.

Implications

There is capacity-building efforts needed for researchers and universities to be able to engage with KMb and increase the impact of their work with different stakeholdes.
