MSK, neuro) Across the lifespan (eg. Pediatrics, older adults) Advances in the field of KT research, including in rehabilitation Need to organize KT research specifically in the field of rehabilitation: Knowledge Translation Strategic Initiative in Rehabilitation in Quebec (KT-SIRQ) KT-SIRQ - Who are we? 4 universities McGill University Université de Montréal Université Laval Université de Sherbrooke 3 research centers CRIR CIRRIS GRIMN Range of patient populations, target audiences and stakeholders Pediatric to older adults Neurology, orthopedic Clinical, academic, community, patients, caregivers, government and policy makers Mission of the KT-SIRQ Build capacity and promote collaborative KT research in rehabilitation to improve the delivery of services and ultimately the health and wellbeing of individuals with physical disabilities Specific objectives for 1st year (2014-2015) To develop a mission statement for the KT-SIRQ To conduct an environmental scan of KT research activities taking place in rehabilitation in Quebec Develop a 5-year strategic plan for KT rehabilitation research in Quebec Methods used to date Mixed-methods approach Iterative consultation process among team members for mission, vision and goals of KT-SIRQ Environmental scan of current rehabilitation KT research activities in Quebec University and funding agency websites, or direct contact to funding agencies Consensus retreat session and Delphi consensus method for priority setting for the strategic plan Expert validation Outcomes to date – 12 month Vision, mission, and goals Vision: To enhance the health of individuals with physical disabilities in Quebec by advancing KT research in rehabilitation science. Mission: To build capacity and promote collaborative KT research in rehabilitation to improve the delivery of services and ultimately the health and wellbeing of individuals with physical disabilities. The goals are to: Build capacity in KT research in and implementation in rehabilitation and promote networking Identify and engage relevant stakeholders (e.g., consumers of rehabilitation services,
