KTEA

We will build on and expand existing study/organization/ community-centric knowledge translation and exchange (KT&E) theories and strategies, to build an integrated KTEA infrastructure that,

  • Is guided by Indigenous knowledge;

  • Is informed by continuous quality improvement processes and developmental evaluation principles;

  • Crosses professional and organizational boundaries;

  • Is designed to meet the information exchange needs of communities, health service providers, researchers and decision-makers (the stakeholders);

  • Builds on the strengths and experience of our partners; and

  • Entrenches a transformative culture of effective integrated KTEA that relies on Indigenous knowledge-informed processes and mechanisms.

  • ​

Using Cultural Protocol-Based Engagement and incorporating the OCAP principles, PEKE aims to:

  • Build relationships and establishing trust;

  • Use principles of FPIC, OCAP and ethical guidelines developed by CIHR and since adopted by the Tri-Council;

  • Develop a shared vocabulary and conceptual base90 which will require adapting KT&E theory to better fit Indigenous processes of knowledge creation, such as building on story telling traditions and experiential knowledge;

  • Develop a common understanding of context and of how to apply research findings; and

  • Develop action plans on how to best use the information shared, facilitating and monitoring uptake.
