How to Articulate the Value of Research: Martha Piper (2002) “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.”
Goal of Knowledge Mobilization (KM) To develop a culture of partnership between academic researchers and decision makers in governments and community organizations to assist in strengthening the development of public policy, professional practice and social programming.
