The next KT Canada Summer Institute will take place from June 8-11*, 2026 in Ottawa, Ontario. This will
be an in-person event. The theme is “Implementation Science – Application and Advancement.”

*June 11 is an optional 4th day, for the inaugural Ottawa Research to Evidence Showcase.

This year we’re excited to share that there will be two tracks for the SI.

Track 1 is designed to provide a grounding and training in foundational steps applying the tools of KT
and implementation science in practice. Track 1 is especially well-suited to applicants who are relatively
new to KT and implementation science in their training and/or those in roles and positions that need to
implement evidence-based practices.

Track 2 is designed to provide attendees an opportunity to identify and discuss how to address
conceptual and methodological gaps in the field of implementation science and develop grant-writing
skills for implementation science projects to advance the field. Track 2 is especially well suited for
applicants who are researchers or trainees with an interest advancing the science of knowledge
translation.

The purpose of the Summer Institute is to provide participants with the opportunity to increase their
understanding of knowledge translation research, as well as opportunities and challenges in this field.
The Summer Institute will provide participants with the chance to network with colleagues including
national KT experts. It is aimed at graduate students, post-doctoral and clinical fellows, junior faculty
who study issues relevant to KT, and those who want to learn more about how to advance their
research skills in this area. We encourage applications from a wide range of disciplines that span all of
CIHR’s research themes (clinical, health services, and population health).
