Job Summary

The Research/Knowledge Translation Coordinator works in collaboration with the principal investigator and team to support administration of research activities, and knowledge translation and mobilization activities.

The Coordinator will support operations of a grant-funded project focused on training of health professionals in the field of eating disorders, including overseeing research ethics approvals, privacy impact approvals, and other research administration, including applications for grant funding for related project. The Coordinator will also support the translation and implementation of research through a variety of communications channels (e.g., paper-based, multi-media). The position works with multiple stakeholders to identify knowledge needs and translate these needs into deliverables that are relevant for a variety of stakeholder groups, including individuals with lived experience and clinicians. The Coordinator will contribute to the development of knowledge translation materials, and will support the planning and delivery of education and training sessions relating to eating disorders and team activities. The Coordinator will also engage with a national Evidence Support and Knowledge Mobilization Hub to ensure knowledge users' rapid access to evidence from the project.
