The Knowledge Mobilization (KM) Hub aims to strengthen knowledge mobilization across 19 Research Teams under the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Embracing Diversity to Achieve Precision and Health Equity initiative (2025-2030). The Hub is a central KM resource for Research Teams to collaborate on equity-focused approaches to promote the uptake and implementation of research outputs.
Embracing Diversity to Achieve Precision and Health Equity Knowledge Mobilization Hub
The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) launched the Embracing Diversity to Achieve Precision and Health Equity initiative to advance innovative, equity-focused research across nineteen funded Research Teams (RT). These RT are addressing critical questions about health disparities by embedding sex and gender-based analysis plus (SGBA+), equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), and Indigenous self-determination and data sovereignty into their projects.
To enhance the impact of this work, CIHR funded the establishment of a dedicated Knowledge Mobilization (KM) Hub, hosted at the National Collaborating Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCCID). Situated within Canada’s National Collaborating Centres for Public Health network, NCCID provides a strong foundation in applied knowledge translation and systems-level public health engagement. Through the Hub, NCCID offers a national platform to coordinate, strengthen, and amplify KM efforts across all nineteen RT.
The KM Hub’s mission is to support RT in mobilizing knowledge through co-creation of community-centered KM strategies and tailored tools, shared learning opportunities, and processes that reflect CIHR’s commitments to EDIA and SGBA+. The Hub will act as a bridge between communities, researchers, and policy makers, to impact change beyond funding requirements.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Advisory Committee (AC) provides strategic guidance to the Hub, ensuring that activities are inclusive, collaborative, and aligned with CIHR’s principles of EDI, SGBA+, and Indigenous engagement and data governance. The Advisory Committee is composed of diverse representatives to ensure inclusivity and multi-perspective input.

Righting White Writing: Colonialism at the Scale of the Word
This workshop examined how colonial legacies shape language, knowledge production, and scholarly communication, and explored ways to promote more respectful and inclusive writing practices.
