Measuring research impact is becoming increasingly important both for grant proposals and post-award reporting. A knowledge mobilization (KMb) strategy is also often required by major funders. KMb consists of all activities and outputs that make research accessible to a wider audience, while research impact statements/plans describe how the proposed research (or a PI’s research up to a certain point in time) can impact, or have already impacted, the intended people or communities it targets.
Below is a list of resources and information pages that can help you as you develop your KMb and/or research impact statements:
- Information and Instructional Technology at UTM for website development services support
- Accessibility Information for U of T for accessibility considerations in website design, including compliance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA)
- UTM Library Digital Scholarship website for support in the areas of data, digital humanities, digital collections building, digital preservation, and scholarly communications
- Faculty Liaison Librarians for specialized library research support
- Knowledge Mobilization Tools created by Dr. Melanie Barwick at The Hospital for Sick Children.
- Centre for Research & Innovation Support (CRIS) Resources on Research Impact and Knowledge Mobilization
- Research Impact Canada’s website for both Research Impact and KMb strategy resources
