However, a considerable chasm persists between research and practical application, with an average lag of 17 years before evidence-based practices find their way into mainstream utilization. At 3UJ, we are steadfast in our commitment to bridge this gap through strategic investments in knowledge management within the realm of nutrition.
Our Investment Areas
-
Strengthening Implementation Science and Implementation Research: We recognize the pivotal role of IS and IR in narrowing the gap between knowledge and practice. Through our investments, we aim to enhance the capacity and effectiveness of these fields, fostering a more seamless transition from research findings to real-world impact.
-
Application of Bottleneck Analysis Techniques: To improve implementation practices that yield scalable impact, we employ bottleneck analysis techniques. These methods help identify and address critical barriers, ensuring that evidence-based interventions can reach and benefit larger populations more swiftly.
-
Knowledge Brokering: We embrace knowledge brokering as a strategic approach to foster collaborations and partnerships within and across the realms of nutrition implementation, research, and policymaking. By facilitating the exchange of insights and expertise, we aim to catalyze collective efforts that drive innovation and enhance the practical application of nutritional knowledge.
Through these targeted investments, we aspire to expedite the translation of efficacious interventions into practical, population-level solutions. Our dedication to knowledge management in nutrition underscores our commitment to closing the gap between what is known and what is achieved, ultimately promoting the well-being and health of communities we serve.
