Job Summary

The CHILD-BRIGHT Network is a pan-Canadian patient-oriented research network based at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre. Created in 2016, it works to create brighter futures for children and youth with brain-based developmental disabilities and their families. Funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) under Canada’s Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) and 15 funding partners across the country, our national network includes 500 researchers, clinicians, decision-makers, youth, and parents.

CHILD-BRIGHT’s extensive research program was developed based on research priorities identified by youth, parents, and other knowledge users, such as frontline clinicians, and health care administrators. As part of Phase 1 of its activities, from 2016 to 2022, CHILD-BRIGHT carried out 13 multi-centre projects focusing on three themes: early intervention to promote brain and child development; strategies to support the mental health of children and families; and service delivery redesign to address gaps in service. From 2022 to 2026, CHILD-BRIGHT is moving its patient-oriented research into action through insight and methods grounded in implementation science and knowledge mobilization, and by embedding the principles of equity, diversity, inclusion, decolonization and Indigenization.

Organizational Status

Reporting to the Knowledge Mobilization Program Co-Lead and the Manager of Marketing and Communications, the CHILD-BRIGHT Communications & Knowledge Mobilization Assistant will help produce and update communications and knowledge mobilization products and support other knowledge mobilization activities to promote CHILD-BRIGHT’s work, particularly to document the impact of its Phase 1 activities and to disseminate research findings using knowledge mobilization best practices to a range of audiences.

Work Performed
- Working collaboratively with research project teams and KM experts who consult to those project teams, to identify and to frame key messages for action and to select evidence-informed knowledge mobilization strategies to support their uptake
- Collaborating to brainstorm new communication campaigns and materials
- Creating plain language summaries of research outputs (e.g., scientific articles) tailored to various audience groups (e.g., youth, families, health care providers, policy makers, etc.)
- Helping to collect the necessary materials from the project teams to produce these outputs (quotes, testimonials, photos, stats, etc.)
- Producing infographics, stories, blog posts, social media campaign material or other outputs based on your unique skillset and experience and the preferences of the research projects.
- Supporting or coordinating the development of podcast episodes, webinars and/or videos produced or hosted by external vendors/partnered organizations.

The Communications & Knowledge Mobilization Assistant will also contribute to administrative tasks relating to knowledge mobilization and marketing & communications, including:

- Updating content on the network’s website and the Knowledge Mobilization Program’s KT Library (a repository of knowledge mobilization outputs)
- Monitoring social media channels
- Monitoring campaign and web analytics
- Other data gathering and evaluation tasks as related to the role

Consequence of Error/Judgement

Failure to adhere strictly to protocols approved by Ethics Boards, and to OSOT and UBC policies regarding security of data has the potential to cause harm to study participants, to negatively impact the reputation of the investigator(s), CHILD-BRIGHT, OSOT, and UBC, and to threaten ethics approval, access to future funding, and recruitment of study participants.

Poor decisions could delay timely completion of knowledge mobilization activites, cause financial loss and be damaging to the reputations of the research project PIs and team members, the CHILD-BRIGHT Network, the Department Head, OSOT, the Faculty of Medicine, and UBC. In addition, errors could cause misinterpretation o
