The NIHR Applied Research Collaboration Greater Manchester's Knowledge Mobilisation (KM) programme focuses on building capacity and capability and mobilising evidence across these priority areas:
- Primary and secondary prevention of poor health
- Reduction in health inequalities
- Population health management
The main approaches the knowledge mobilisation team takes are:
- Building knowledge mobilisation capacity and capability through the following new funded roles:
- 2 part-funded system-level Knowledge Mobilisation Fellows to support timely access to reliable, actionable summaries of research evidence in high priority areas. These will be working within:
- NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership, and
- Manchester City Council, within the Manchester Local Care Organisations focussing on the delivery and evaluation of the Population Health Management Programme across multiple neighbourhoods.
- At least 6 (2 per year) Knowledge Mobilisation Champions based in Greater Manchester health and social care organisations with less mature research infrastructures.
- A Research Fellow, based at The University of Manchester, to provide methodological support around rapid evidence synthesis, rapid evaluation, considerations of scale, the generalisability of research and different implementation strategies
- 2 part-funded system-level Knowledge Mobilisation Fellows to support timely access to reliable, actionable summaries of research evidence in high priority areas. These will be working within:
- Working with early, and mid-career academics to build a better understanding of the types of research-based knowledge needed by system partners.
- Share and signpost tools, resources and training opportunities through knowledge mobilisation networks and communities of practice.
