We describe our stakeholder engagement process for grant application development that occurred as part of our integrated knowledge translation plan and make recommendations for researchers.
In phase 1, a stakeholder consultation group was developed. In phase 2, surveys regarding knowledge gathering, research agenda, and research collaboration preferences were sent to 333 cross-sectoral youth-serving organizations in Ontario, including family and consumer organizations.
In phase 1, 28 stakeholders from six sectors participated in the consultation group and provided input on multiple aspects of the proposal. Through this process, 19 stakeholders adopted formal roles within the project. In phase 2, 206 surveys were received (response rate = 62%). Survey responses supported the grant focus (concurrent youth mental health and substance use problems). Respondents also prioritized project goals and provided specific feedback on research and knowledge translation. Finally, although some stakeholders chose greater involvement, most survey respondents indicated a preference for a moderate level of participation in research rather than full team membership.
Despite short timelines and feasibility challenges, stakeholders can be meaningfully engaged in and contribute to the grant proposal development process. Consideration is needed for the practical challenges that stakeholder organizations face in supporting and participating in research.
我们描述了作为综合知识转化计划一部分的拨款申请开发过程中的利益相关者参与流程，并为研究人员提出建议。
在第一阶段，成立了一个利益相关者咨询小组。在第二阶段，向安大略省333个跨部门青少年服务组织（包括家庭和消费者组织）发送了关于知识收集、研究议程和研究合作偏好的调查问卷。
在第一阶段，来自六个部门的28名利益相关者参与了咨询小组，并对提案的多个方面提供了意见。通过这个过程，19名利益相关者在项目中担任了正式角色。在第二阶段，共收到206份调查问卷（回复率 = 62%）。调查回复支持了拨款重点（青少年心理健康和物质使用问题并发）。受访者还对项目目标进行了优先排序，并对研究和知识转化提供了具体反馈。最后，尽管一些利益相关者选择了更多参与，但大多数调查受访者表示倾向于适度参与研究，而不是成为完整的团队成员。
尽管时间紧迫且存在可行性挑战，但利益相关者能够有效地参与拨款申请开发过程并做出贡献。需要考虑利益相关者组织在支持和参与研究方面面临的实际挑战。
