Knowledge to action: First nations engagement with research for community benefit.
Knowledge translation is the sharing of knowledge in an effort to make research more meaningful to society. Currently, many gaps exist in effective knowledge to action especially for research carried out with Aboriginal peoples. My master's research explores knowledge transaction and knowledge...
