Journey Wisely: A Process for Identifying Emerging Topics and Pursuing Knowledge Translation
Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2020, 2:30-2:50  p.m. ET
Sponsor: CDC Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention, the Applied Research and Translation Team

Join us for a 20-minute coffee break presentation on how best to balance work on new and emerging issues while continuing to address ongoing priorities in public health sufficiently.

The Applied Research and Translation Team developed a process based on the Knowledge to Action Framework to provide a practical and structured method for efficiently thinking through the steps in knowledge translation. The process includes five phases – problem identification, vetting the issue and obtaining buy-in, decision to translate, translation of knowledge into products, and dissemination – all of which promote stakeholder engagement and formative evaluation. In this coffee break, we will present each phase in the translation journey, using community paramedicine as an applied example. Attendees will learn about a flexible approach for assessing emerging public health topics, considering supporting evidence, and deciding if and when to translate knowledge into products.

No need to register, join via Adobe Connect and call 855-644-0229, Conference ID: 8247938
