Knowledge Mobilization Services

Knowledge mobilization is the process of sharing research findings and evidence with an audience who can use those findings in practice. SIRC has extensive networks ranging from community and provincial sport clubs to national high performance and corporate partners, in addition to leading academic and content experts. Leveraging these networks, SIRC’s knowledge mobilization services can help you get your message to the right people, in the right format, at the right time.

Knowledge mobilization plans

We develop tailored knowledge mobilization plans that help you get your message to the right people, in the right format, at the right time. We cover the who, what, where, when, why and how to ensure your research findings or evidence are packaged and disseminated in a way that will resonate with target audiences.

Reports and resources

We write content and provide creative direction for a variety of text-based products with graphic elements, including (but not limited to) reports, bulletins, briefs, infographics, templates, toolkits and more.

Here are examples of SIRC’s most recent reports and resources:

• Canadian Sport Policy Renewal – What we heard report
• Canadian Paralympic Transfer blog series
• Ringett Canada – Ringette for All Infographic

Communications

We develop messaging and communications expertise to help new research resonate with the sport and physical activity sector. And we create connections, so that a message is not only heard but understood by the entire sport system.

E-learning

We develop content and provide design oversight for e-learning modules and related learning materials, including training manuals, workbooks, and learning activities.

• Air Quality – Air pollution & sport safety | Air Quality Health Index Module

Knowledge sharing events

We plan, coordinate and co-host live and virtual knowledge-sharing events, including webinars, workshops, symposia and conferences for the sport and physical activity sector.

Here are examples of SIRC’s knowledge sharing events:

• Annual Concussion in Sport Symposium
• Annual Sport Canada Research Initiative Conference
• Sport North webinar series
• Evaluation webinar series
  • Part 1: Partnering for Impact
  • Part 2: Accessing the Evidence| Getting Creative with Data Collection
  • Part 3: Put Your Learnings into Practice | Learning From and Communicating Evaluation Findings
  • Part 4: Partnerships in Action | How research-to-practice partnerships are making a difference

Videos

We engage in storyboarding, scriptwriting, recording, and production oversight to develop a range of video-based products (ranging from presentation recordings to graphically illustrated videos and everything in between).
