Purpose and Objectives
The purpose of the Mobilize Grant is to fund the knowledge mobilization of health research within practical and non-academic settings and mediums, with the aim to improve health-related knowledge and outcomes in Saskatchewan.

SHRF uses the term knowledge mobilization to refer to all activities used to bring awareness to research activities and findings in a way that can be used in practice. This includes but is not limited to knowledge synthesis, dissemination, transfer, exchange, and co-creation or co-production. Knowledge mobilization should encourage exchanges between researchers and knowledge users.

These individuals may represent organizations that are interested in the practical application of knowledge. A knowledge user may be a practitioner, health system manager, policymaker, educator, decision-maker, health care administrator, community leader or an individual from a health institution, patient group, government organization, etc.
