Key points from the literature
Number of models to explain knowledge brokerage and a number of terms that describe this process. These terms include; Knowledge Translation, Knowledge Transfer, Knowledge Exchange, Research Utilisation and Research Implementation. It is generally agreed that it is a process that aims at getting research knowledge into ‘action’ through informing practice setting and/or policy or decision making settings
Explicit knowledge (research informed evidence) is one type of evidence and tacit knowledge (gained from experience) is another type of evidence. Both are utilised in decision making processes
Interactive models of knowledge exchange are now favoured, and have largely replaced more linear ‘push’ and ‘pull’ models

Key points from the literature
Barriers to knowledge exchange include competing interests or values and ‘cognitive’, ‘structural’ and ‘organizational’ and ‘cultural’, constraints
Facilitators to knowledge exchange include ‘generative capacity’, ‘disseminative capacity’, ‘absorptive capacity’ and ‘adaptive and responsive capacity’ as well as personal interaction
Strategies for knowledge exchange include ‘knowledge mapping’ and the use of ‘knowledge brokers’ to facilitate knowledge exchange

Why did this project have so much impact?
Impact was intended
Facilitating organisation CRCAH made links between research/industry
Collaborative approach
Continuing partnerships in related projects
Strong ownership by NT government
Engaged appropriate people to influence educational outcomes.
![Page 13: Knowledge brokers and new perspectives on adoption of ... · Adapt to PHCRED Phase 3 decisions and health reform changes Maximise KTE . 28 APHCRI 2010-2014](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042407/5f222ea3f6f19113587964b7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Collaboration and action research
The collaborative approach to development of research projects in the CRCAH is designed to enhance research transfer.
The action research approach of this specific project is also designed to enhance research transfer through engagement of providers and policy makers in the research project, in interpretation of findings and in responding to research findings. (CI, ABCD Project)

Observing and recording impact
We knew we’d had an impact when…
our work was included in the CARPA manual
our report was used in a senate hearing
similar programs operate in other states….
???????
Why should researchers observe or document impact of their work?
