We discuss the process and the wider benefits of developing alternative – but rigorously linked – perspectives on the same theories and phenomena both for transferring existing research knowledge to practice and for sparking leading-edge theory and research.
Through this approach, program officers were able to respond to grantee-identified needs for building or strengthening local capacity for research, knowledge translation, and research use.
The need for scientists with an eye for business as well as research knowledge is increasing rapidly, and for those who love science but have second thoughts about spending a lifetime in the lab, this might be the answer.
The remit of the UK China Science Bridge is to accelerate deployment of research knowledge in sustainable solutions for the built environment developed at Queen's University Belfast, to high-ranking partner universities and research institutions in China.

A decision-maker was defined as 'an individual who makes decisions about, or influences, health policies or practices.' The program used different approaches in order to build or increase local capacity for research, knowledge translation, and research use.
To identify key users, we search for actors that take a central place in relevant networks (in action for health) and seem most capable in employing research knowledge to contribute to action for health.
The same universities that have been in the forefront of innovation in graduate supply have also responded in terms of technology, research, knowledge transfer and incubation space for this multi-dimensional creative sector.
