This webinar will introduce the Research-to-Practice (R2P) Toolkit, a practical guide to help research teams create a plan to engage key stakeholders and disseminate findings. The R2P Toolkit supports researchers in identifying people and organizations who have a stake in the outcome of research, and in developing a plan to move research findings off of the journal page and into the field.
At the completion of this activity, the learner will be able to:
Discuss levels of community engagement
Describe the connection between community engagement and effective dissemination of research findings to improve worker health
