Increasing capacity for knowledge translation - understanding how some researchers engage policy makers
Advisor on Tap:
Anita Kothari, PhD
University of Western Ontar
Anita Kothari is an assistant professor in the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Western Ontario. She is interested in testing strategies to support evidence-informed decision-making by practitioners, managers and policy-makers. Lately she wonders if we (i.e., knowledge translation researchers) have been spending too much time concentrating on research evidence without a complimentary focus on understanding the role of tacit knowledge in decision-making. Anita is also involved in studying and developing the field of public health services research. Anita currently holds an Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care career scientist award in community-based knowledge translation and in 2010 will take up a CIHR new investigator award to expand her program of research.
