Skills for Research Impact: Strategies for Disseminating Research

How do you share your research with non-academic audiences?

Learn about a number of potential mechanisms you can use for knowledge mobilization, discover how to choose a mechanism that’s appropriate for your audience, and take a deep dive into several popular mechanisms for dissemination, including social media, research summaries, infographics, and media. 

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Recognize various opportunities for dissemination of research to non-academic audiences 
• Select an appropriate option for dissemination to your audience 
• List, and apply skills learned related to, popular dissemination mechanisms: 
  • Social media 
  • Policy brief or two-page summary 
  • Infographic or visual summary 
  • Media outreach 
• List resources that will help disseminate your research in additional ways
