Description:

The Ontario Problem Gambling Research Centre is now accepting proposals for KTE Incubator Projects. We are offering two streams of Incubator projects intended to bridge the gap between research, policy, and practice by using effective knowledge translation and exchange, including synthesis, dissemination, exchange and ethically-sound application of knowledge to reduce harm from gambling.

The KTE Incubator projects are available in two streams: 1.Policy Focus: Projects should aim to provide evidence to policy makers by contextualizing the research within the larger scope of knowledge to establish the best evidence for practice. Researchers should assess the quality of the research and select KTE strategies that reflect how that evidence can best be used for policy and decision making. 2.Community Engaged Research ? Applicants will work with a community partner organization to identify and refine an information need that will help meet their organizational objectives related to reducing harm from gambling. Together the applicants and the community partner will develop a plan to address this information need which may involve knowledge inquiry, knowledge synthesis and/or creation of a knowledge product. Applicants will be expected to execute the plan in consultation with the partnering community organization.
