Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia have participated in Western research for decades. When done well, research has resulted in significant benefits and positive impacts on society. However, the primary benefactor of this research has and continues to be researchers, with limited or no research knowledge mobilized for uptake and beneficial use by end users, such as individuals and communities. In 2021, the Torres Strait Islanders Research to Policy and Practice Hub (the Hub) at James Cook University designed and implemented several strategies, including a games-based interactive workshop with representatives from nongovernment organizations (NGOs). Feedback suggests the workshop and associated activities were a success.
We describe knowledge translation (KT) and implementation planning to design and implement strategies to increase awareness and understanding of NGOs in research governance.
This descriptive study involved representatives from NGOs on Thursday Island in the Torres Strait. We collected data from a literature review and informal discussions. We used several models and frameworks to guide our approach and underpin data collection and analysis.
Designing and implementing strategies to increase awareness and understanding of NGOs in the Torres Strait to govern research involved several key steps: (1) identifying and defining what needed to change and who needed to change, (2) identifying and mapping barriers and facilitators, (3) selecting the most appropriate strategies to support change, (4) implementing activities, and (5) monitoring and evaluating our approach. We developed a program logic to understand and communicate to others how we would implement activities and what resources would be required to support this process. We drew on several evidence-based KT and implementation models and frameworks to do this. First, a KT planning template was used to inform what evidence we wanted to mobilize, to whom, and for what purpose. Based on this step, we recognized we wanted to bring about change with the target audience, and as such, we drew on the previously mentioned implementation planning models and frameworks. We collated the outcomes from these initial steps.
Our KT and implementation practice experience were successful. Encouraging researchers and end users to adopt similar practices requires investment in training and development of KT and implementation practice. This also entails modifying research standards and guidelines to include KT and implementation practice when working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other vulnerable groups, creating incentives for researchers and end users to embed KT and implementation practice in research, and recognizing and rewarding the benefits and impact beyond publication and presentation.
澳大利亚的原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民已经参与西方研究数十年。如果研究开展得好，会给社会带来显著益处和积极影响。然而，这项研究的主要受益者一直是研究人员，最终用户（如个人和社区）所调动的研究知识有限或根本没有，无法将其用于实际并从中受益。2021年，詹姆斯库克大学的托雷斯海峡岛民研究转化为政策与实践中心（该中心）设计并实施了多项策略，包括与非政府组织（NGO）代表举办一场基于游戏的互动研讨会。反馈表明该研讨会及相关活动很成功。
我们描述知识转化（KT）和实施规划，以设计和实施策略，提高非政府组织对研究治理的认识和理解。
这项描述性研究涉及托雷斯海峡星期四岛的非政府组织代表。我们通过文献综述和非正式讨论收集数据。我们使用了几种模型和框架来指导我们的方法，并为数据收集和分析提供支持。
设计和实施提高托雷斯海峡非政府组织对研究治理的认识和理解的策略涉及几个关键步骤：（1）确定并定义需要改变的内容以及需要改变的对象；（2）识别并梳理障碍和促进因素；（3）选择最适合支持变革的策略；（4）开展活动；（5）监测和评估我们的方法。我们制定了一个项目逻辑，以理解并向他人说明我们将如何开展活动以及支持这一过程需要哪些资源。我们借鉴了几种基于证据的知识转化和实施模型及框架来做到这一点。首先，使用一个知识转化规划模板来明确我们想要调动什么证据、针对谁以及出于什么目的。基于这一步骤，我们认识到我们希望与目标受众一起促成变革，因此，我们借鉴了前面提到的实施规划模型和框架。我们整理了这些初始步骤的成果。
我们的知识转化和实施实践经验很成功。鼓励研究人员和最终用户采用类似做法需要对知识转化和实施实践的培训与发展进行投入。这还需要修改研究标准和指南，以便在与原住民、托雷斯海峡岛民及其他弱势群体合作时纳入知识转化和实施实践，为研究人员和最终用户将知识转化和实施实践融入研究创造激励措施，并认可和奖励除发表和展示之外的益处和影响。
