Table 4 Critical success factors for MSFHR’s KT plan

• We define ‘knowledge translation’ consistently, using plain language.

• The BC health research community understands the importance of KT, and the value of their engaging in it outweighs the cost.

• We are seen to be credible and influential as a KT organization in BC and across Canada.

• Our KT function is adequately resourced, and we leverage our KT budget.

• Our KT activities are specific in their audiences and objectives such that they can be rigorously evaluated; they are based on good evidence themselves, we learn from our KT activities, and disseminate lessons learned.
