PhD in Knowledge into Action

University of Sheffield

The theme activities are underpinned by an applied and theoretical concern to increase understanding of the adoption and implementation of research evidence into clinical practice, local government commissioning and to influence public health policy. Our mission is to increase the co­production of knowledge in order to accelerate the adoption of research findings across all stages of the research process (pre, during and post research). Our aim is to advance theoretical and methodological understanding of knowledge translation across a wide range of research topics, study contexts and methodological designs (ethnography, survey research, clinical trials etc). We seek to pool this knowledge to inform evidence translation research and health policy.
