Models are needed for how to advance use of knowledge by programs and policy officials to make evidence-based decisions about nutrition. How to advance use of nutrition knowledge in India from 2011 to 2015 during a political transition was investigated through studying a knowledge initiative led by the International Food Policy Research Institute. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 37 diverse participants, and 1091 news articles, 318 Twitter and 175 Facebook posts, 12 YouTube events, 65 knowledge products, and 130 engaging events were assessed. Open-axial coding, content and themes analysis, triangulation, and process tracing were used. The knowledge initiative analyzed the landscape, made knowledge available, mobilized it, and engendered its use. After political transition, knowledge was readied for the reassembled nutrition technical community, including timely responses to governmental information needs. Making nutrition knowledge available, mobilizing it, and engendering its use can be advanced through knowledge initiatives in large, complex countries during political transitions.
需要建立一些模式，以指导项目和政策官员如何更好地运用知识，从而做出基于证据的营养决策。通过对国际粮食政策研究所牵头的一项知识倡议进行研究，探讨了2011年至2015年印度政治过渡期间如何推动营养知识的应用。对37名不同参与者进行了半结构化访谈，并评估了1091篇新闻文章、318条推特和175条脸书帖子、12个YouTube视频、65种知识产品以及130场参与活动。采用了开放轴心编码、内容与主题分析、三角测量法以及过程追踪法。该知识倡议对形势进行了分析，提供了知识，推动了知识的传播，并促使其得到应用。政治过渡后，为重新组建的营养技术群体准备了知识，包括及时回应政府的信息需求。在大型复杂国家的政治过渡期间，通过知识倡议可以推动营养知识的提供、传播及其应用。
