Family Engagement in Research (FER) Knowledge Translation (KT) Tools
As part of the requirements for the Family Engagement in Research (FER) course and leadership academy, researchers and family members partner together to create a knowledge translation (KT) tool.
The purpose of these KT tools developed by students is to disseminate knowledge and information on patient and family engagement in childhood neurodevelopmental disabilities research. Examples of KT tools include infographics, webinars, podcasts, or any other means of sharing information.
We encourage you to download and use these KT tools to support your engagement in research.
