Abstract
Knowledge translation at NeuroDevNet, a new Canadian Network of Centres of Excellence focused on brain development, is a core service that spans its 3 demonstration projects: research programs in cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, and integrated as a network-wide activity. This article describes the results of an environmental scan of NeuroDevNet members using a survey of their existing practices and needs completed by 30% of NeuroDevNet's members (n = 36/120) and key informant interviews with 14 members. Results suggest that most members are somewhat engaged in a number of knowledge translation activities although they tend to be traditional ones, such as attending conferences and giving presentations to other researchers. There is very little in the way of public engagement or consumer-focused activities. It also describes activities underway at the Cerebral Palsy Demonstration Project. This scan is helping members of NeuroDevNet's knowledge translation core plan and prioritize services and activities within NeuroDevNet.
