This workshop will provide you with tools to write a high impact grant proposal targeted at the CIHR Meetings, Planning and Dissemination Grant: Knowledge Translation Supplement (Spring 2011 Competition). Please note that you must have had funding from a peer reviewed funding agency (e.g., Heart and Stroke Foundation, Bill Fraser Award, CIHR, Juvenille Diabetes, NSERC, etc) in order to be eligible to apply to this competition. The specific objective of this funding opportunity is to facilitate the dissemination and uptake of research findings through appropriate KT strategies/activities based on the best evidence of effective methods for influencing the uptake of research by the intended target audience(s).
