Abstract
Objective: This feature article on knowledge transfer presents principles and strategies to support the development of short communiqués to end-users.
Participants: Formal and informal knowledge brokers are the targeted users of the strategies.
Methods: Research studies and conceptual literature in knowledge transfer informed the development of brief-Knowledge Transfer (b-KT) principles. Principles are explained and a sample of how they informed the development of KIT-Tip Sheets is offered to promote ways to use principles in knowledge dissemination.
Results: b-KT principles can be used as a framework to guide the development of short communiqués by knowledge brokers in work practice but also in the health, social and rehabilitation domains. In addition, these principles promote the participation of end-users in the development of knowledge transfer.
Conclusions: Formal evaluation is needed on the use of these principles in achieving the uptake and use of knowledge by end-users.
