Knowledge Mobilization Partnership Program (KMP2)

By | Program Achievements

One of the biggest challenges to innovation adoption is scaling up after validation. To overcome this hurdle, CABHI launched the Knowledge Mobilization Partnership Program (KMP2) in March 2017 to help Canadian clinicians, managers, researchers and academics drive the adoption of best and next practices among aging and brain health stakeholder groups across the province or nationally.

KMP2 provides essential funding, up to $250,000 CAD per project within a total funding envelope of $1 million CAD, to solutions that have been successfully validated within their environments and are ready for broader adoption. Projects may include evidence-based knowledge, products, services, practices, tools or dissemination methodologies that are proven to significantly improve health outcomes, quality of life and behaviour change for seniors and caregivers.

By facilitating and speeding the expansion of proven innovations, more older adults, their circle of care and healthcare practitioners will gain access to essential knowledge and skills that will help older adults maintain cognitive, emotional and physical well-being as they age, consistent with existing evidence. At the same time, KMP2  will drive economic impact and job creation across a larger geographic area.
