The knowledge translation grant provides funding to disseminate health research knowledge and outcomes that key stakeholders (e.g. iwi, community, health providers, Ministry of Health, Te Puni Kōkiri) have identified as beneficial and important for future use, including policy and health service development. The HRC recognises the importance of dissemination and the various forms it can take depending on the target audience. A grant of up to $5,000 is available.
