Scientific knowledge can help develop interventions that improve public health. Dagenais et al. (2013) describe the status of research on knowledge transfer strategies in the field of complex social interventions in public health and identify priorities for future research in this field. Health research is conducted with the expectation that it advances knowledge and eventually translates into improved health systems and population health. However, research findings are often caught in the know-do gap: they are neither acted upon in a timely manner nor applied at all. Integrated knowledge translation (IKT) is advanced as a mean to increase the relevance, applicability, and impact of research. With IKT, knowledge users work with researchers throughout the research process, starting with the identification of the research question. Graham et al. (2018) present a protocol for a program of research testing the assumption of engaging users of research in phases of its production leads. Schomaker and Zaheer (2014) proposed a model on the effects of language on knowledge transfer to geographically dispersed operations. Rather than focusing on the distance between two language groups, they looked at the commonalities between their languages, introducing the construct of linguistic relevance as a way to measure the overlap in the structural features of the dominant languages used among firms and their overseas manufacturing operations.

In general, studies on knowledge transfer in Canada address the following topics: Cross-Knowledge, Learning Organization, Communities, Scientific Knowledge, Integrated Knowledge Translation (IKT), and Model.
