Despite the ever-increasing production of knowledge, the gap between what we know and what we practice in the field of health still remains. Knowledge translation is a dynamic and iterative process that involves the generation, dissemination, exchange, and ethical and proper use of knowledge to improve health, deliver more effective health services and products, and strengthen healthcare. The Knowledge Translation, exchange, and commercialization group, as a subdivision of the directorate of research information and network development, operates under the Vice-Chancellor for Research and Technology at Semnan University of Medical Sciences and Health Services. The main mission of this group is to facilitate and accelerate the process of transferring research project results to audiences and stakeholders, with the aim of improving public health and enhancing healthcare services and products.
The duties and activities of this group are as follows:
Training faculty members and researchers to use knowledge translation skills in conducting research projects
Developing guidelines and instructions for establishing the knowledge translation process in faculties and research centers
Evaluating faculties and research centers regarding the application of the knowledge translation process in research projects
Providing opinions on knowledge translation proposals submitted in the Pajoheshyar research system
Organizing workshops and seminars on knowledge translation activities in medical sciences
Holding meetings to establish communication between researchers and stakeholders of research projects
