Presenters

Emily Clark, Msc
About:

Emily brings her expertise in project management, writing, and teaching to her role as Knowledge Broker with NCCMT’s clients to implement evidence-informed decision making in their organizations. Her diverse portfolio includes developing and refining the NCCMT’s suite of products and services, networking and outreach to various audiences, and leading and supporting a range of knowledge translation projects. An accomplished facilitator, Emily has been invited to deliver several guest lectures to public health graduate students and has also delivered an in-house training series on research methodology to the NCCMT team. In addition to a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Waterloo, Emily has earned two Master of Science degrees, one in biology from McGill University, and a second in health research methodology from McMaster University. Emily has a passion for research methodology and is always happy to discuss study designs or critical appraisal. She also contributes to various working groups at the National Collaborating Centres for Public Health on an ongoing basis.

Robyn Traynor, MSc
About:

Robyn has worked in various aspects of health research for over ten years, with a focus on knowledge translation and research impact assessment. As a Knowledge Broker, Robyn primarily contributes to the NCCMT’s Rapid Evidence Service and other capacity-building initiatives. Robyn earned a Bachelor of Health Sciences and a Master of Science in Neuroscience from McMaster University. Upon completing her graduate training, Robyn realized that her final thesis was undoubtedly destined for a dusty, unread life on a forgotten library bookshelf without the support of something called “knowledge translation.” She has since championed the concept, working to bridge the knowledge-to-action gap and facilitating multidirectional engagement between knowledge producers and users. Her goal is to disseminate research evidence effectively and appropriately. She has supplemented her formal education with additional training in project management, evaluation and – of course – knowledge translation.
