Knowledge translation is the art and science of moving evidence into health care policy and practice. Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute (VCHRI) is proud to support health care professionals in effectively implementing evidence-based practice changes that improve patient care. The Knowledge Translation (KT) Challenge, a program delivered in collaboration with BC Cancer, Fraser Health, Northern Health and Providence Health Care, is grounded in capacity building and helps health care providers work with experienced investigators to share knowledge and build connections.
Learning Health Systems is an increasing priority at Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) and Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute (VCHRI) that champions continuous learning through knowledge, practice and data collection to improve patient outcomes and experiences. Driven by the VCH value “we are always learning,” the Centre for Clinical Epidemiology and Evaluation (C2E2) at VCHRI is working to expand the reach and adoption of Learning Health Systems at VCH.
The Knowledge Translation (KT) Challenge is an annual program that has been run in collaboration with BC Cancer, Providence Health Care (PHC) and Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute (VCHRI) since the first cohort in 2017.

Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute (VCHRI) hosted a special anniversary event on May 9, bringing together the research community to celebrate 20 years of research excellence. Over 300 passionate researchers, clinicians, trainees, staff, community partners and research collaborators gathered to commemorate notable achievements in integrating research innovation and health care at VCH.
Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute (VCHRI) supports innovation and improvements in health care through its Knowledge Translation (KT) Challenge, a program run in collaboration with Providence Health Care and BC Cancer. This competition encourages health care practitioners to improve patient care by translating evidence and research findings into practice. The KT Challenge facilitates innovative research projects that advance patient care by partnering practitioners with researchers who provide knowledge translation mentorship and resources.
Shortly after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, Dr. Mina Park and other members of the COVID-19 Research and Knowledge Translation (KT) Group jumped into action.
The group of almost a dozen researchers, clinicians, librarians and students from Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH), the University of British Columbia (UBC) and beyond was tasked with combing through and interpreting the constant and ever-evolving flow of evidence on how to contain the virus.
The only certainty about the novel coronavirus when it first appeared on the global stage was the uncertainty about how to stop its spread. COVID-19 has no known cure at present, and treating patients who test positive for SARS-CoV-2 has required the insights and knowledge of multiple experts, something Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute researcher Dr. David Sweet recognized early into the pandemic.
Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute (VCHRI) supports health improvements and innovation through its Knowledge Translation Challenge, a program run in collaboration with Providence Health Care. This competition challenges health care practitioners to translate research discoveries and evidence into everyday practice with the aim of improving patient care. The challenge brings together practitioners who do not have knowledge translation experience and researchers who provide knowledge translation mentorship and resources.
