The following videos are part of a growing series to introduce key concepts and services in knowledge mobilization. They are also part of our overall effort to help connect research to policy or professional practice.
Knowledge Mobilization Planning Principles
MobilizeYU
As an inaugural pilot, participants will sign up and participate in an 6-session interactive course. Taught by leading KMb professionals and researchers, participants will learn about theoretical and practical aspects of effective KMb. They will integrate this knowledge within an applied project.

Clear Language Writing and Design
York’s KMb Unit provides leadership in the development of Clear Language Writing and Design. ResearchSnapshots, Infographics and other tools and resources help researchers and their partners clearly communicate their research findings to diverse audiences.
ResearchSnapshots
ResearchSnapshots are summaries of single research studies. They summarize the research and the
research findings in simple, straight forward language, and provide contact information for the
researcher. Click here to access the library of ResearchSnapshots which have been developed by the KMb Unit. For more information on
our methodology and preliminary outcomes, please see the following publication.
Infographics
Infographics visually represent research data and information and is an exciting way to communicate research findings. The KMb Unit has developed a guide for developing Infographics and templates which researchers can use to help build their own research project infographic. Contact us for more information
Knowledge Mobilization Planning
Knowledge Mobilization planning is one of our key services. We work with researchers to develop KMb
plans for grant applications. Contact us for more information.
