KT for TT: Ensuring Beneficial Impacts
|
Dear Colleague, Please join us for a webcast hosted by SEDL and the Center on Knowledge Translation for Technology Transfer (KT4TT), in collaboration with the Independent Living Research Utilization (ILRU) program at Memorial Herman/TIRR. Monday, June 29, 2009: Knowledge Translation for Technology Transfer: Ensuring Beneficial Impacts from Research & Development The 60-minute webcast will begin at 3:00pm Eastern; 2:00pm Central; 1:00pm Mountain; 12:00pm Pacific; 11:00am Alaska; 9:00am Hawaii. Webcast Registration (no fee to participate): We are working with The University at Buffalo Continuing Education Office to offer 0.5 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for participating in the webcast. Note that a fee of $15 would be required by the Continuing Education Office to process the CEUs. Information about how to request the CEUs will be provided at a later date. About the Webcast The session introduces the concept of Knowledge Translation for Technology Transfer. It explains how the two processes can be linked to increase the relevance of technology-oriented knowledge from upstream academic research, through downstream industrial development and production, and out to persons with disabilities. The same linkage provides Federal sponsors with new opportunities to conduct evidence-based project tracking and program evaluation. Knowledge translation is a term that is closely related to dissemination or diffusion; however, most scholars draw an important distinction—KT is a much broader concept and places a significant emphasis on the issue of research quality and the implementation of research evidence within a system (Focus Technical Brief #14, NCDDR, 2006). About the Presenter Joseph P. Lane, MBPA is Director of the Center for Assistive Technology, established at The University at Buffalo in 1988. He is Principal Investigator of the NIDRR-funded Disability and Rehabilitation Research Project on Knowledge Translation for Technology Transfer (KT4TT). Mr. Lane spent the past fifteen years directing NIDRR’s Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Technology Transfer. Download Presentation Materials for Webcast
