The Knowledge Translation Program (Unity Health Toronto) recently received the President’s Impact Award from the University of Toronto. The KTP was recognized for knowledge synthesis, guideline development, and evidence-based implementation research that improved the quality of patient care and strengthened health systems in Canada and worldwide.
The University of Toronto’s (U of T’s) President’s Impact Awards (PIA) celebrate and honour faculty members whose research has led to significant impact beyond academia. The awards recognize contributions that emerge from academic scholarship and have fully realized, demonstrable impacts in any domain, for example on arts and culture, community involvement, the economy, education, the environment, health, an industry, law, professional practices or services, public engagement, public policy, or quality of life; the development of products, processes or services from inventions; or scientific or technological innovation that has been translated beyond the lab.
The PIA recognizes both individual U of T faculty members and teams of faculty members for demonstrable, sustained research impacts that may result from a single influential contribution or from an ongoing commitment to research translation.
