Where research informs public-facing communication
Learn moreKnowledge Translation & Research Communication focuses on helping research, evidence, and complex ideas be communicated clearly, accurately, and responsibly.
We work alongside researchers, institutions, and programmes to ensure that knowledge developed for specific purposes can be understood, used, and trusted by wider audiences.
Research and evidence shape policy, practice, and public understanding. Yet much valuable work remains inaccessible beyond specialist audiences.
Knowledge translation helps bridge this gap — not by simplifying ideas to the point of distortion, but by communicating them with care for accuracy, context, and intended use.
Poorly translated research risks being misunderstood, misused, or ignored. Responsible translation protects both the knowledge itself and the people affected by it.
We support knowledge translation across contexts including:
- public-interest and policy-relevant research
- programme evaluation and learning outputs
- institutional reports, manuals, and briefings
- research intended for non-specialist or mixed audiences
Our approach is shaped by close collaboration with researchers and subject-matter experts.
We prioritise:
- fidelity to evidence and intent
- attention to audience and context
- clear structure and accessible language
- transparency about scope and limitations
Knowledge translation is treated as a process of interpretation and responsibility, not as a purely editorial task.
Engagements are typically:
- structured and time-bound
- focused on defined outputs (booklets, manuals, reports, briefs)
- supported by iterative review and subject-matter input
- aligned with programme or funding timelines

Relationship to Other Areas of Work
Knowledge translation often intersects with other areas of our work, including:
We approach these intersections carefully, recognising the different responsibilities involved.
