Each section is authored by a different organization, and each organization shares its unique perspectives and solutions to providing KT. http://www.melaniebarwick.com/KTPC_dl.php

• Barwick’s KT Planning Template (fillable)—This resource was created by Melanie Barwick of the Hospital for Sick Children. This template is intended for research and nonresearch project teams alike to design KT activities that align with project goals, activities, stakeholders, resources, and projected outcomes and evaluation. It is fillable and can be completed by teams during planning phases. http://melaniebarwick.com/knowledge-translation-tools/

• KT Planning Primer (Public Health Agency of Canada)—This resource was developed by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) to support KT planning activities that share useful knowledge about research with stakeholder audiences. The KT Planning Primer is made up of three separate resources that work in combination with one another: a diagram showing the KT planning process, a worksheet to guide teams through necessary steps, and a user guide with references and appendices to support ongoing KT project implementation. http://publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2013/aspc-phac/HP35-37-2012-eng.pdf
