Partnering for Knowledge Mobilization
David Phipps, PhD, MBA
Director, Research Services & Knowledge Exchange
“We must translate our research findings in the human sciences into public policy and social programs”
“Knowledge Transfer in the human sciences – the transfer of findings into policy and programs – is as important as technology transfer in the engineering and natural sciences.”
Maximize the Impact of Research: Martha Piper (2002)
KMb – what is it?
• Knowledge Mobilization (KMb) is a suite of services that supports collaborations between non-commercial research and expertise and the public, private and non-profit sectors.
• KMb (the process) can enable enhanced social innovation (the outcome).
• KMb is the university’s contribution to social innovation and allows partners from the public, private and non-profit sectors to leverage investments in university research.
