There is a way to abuse matching fund grants. Applicants can collude with business partners who furnish the matching funds in order to get the contract and be guaranteed the money. This subverts competition and creates animosity, especially in scarce markets.

Research-based scholarly publications rarely include information that itemizes associated costs and benefits, or facilitates planning and budgeting. Other common absences of information include implementation-related factors such as the availability of practice guidelines, staffing requirements, educational prerequisites, training needs, and performance life-cycles. Researchers often have many of the answers, but journals rarely consider the information to be within their scope of coverage.

Senior Management and External Stakeholders — image managing, information seeking — As NPD in biotechnology is a many year project, it is essential that the role of the fundraiser is performed to ensure a steady flow of investment funds. Subjects indicated that the external communication to the funds analysts and venture capitalists could be considered ‘Investor Relations’ or ‘Public Relations.’ In return, these stakeholders require information about the firm’s milestones, progress and future research to continue funding.

If funding organizations are going to require explicit identification of knowledge translation activities in research proposals, the funding organizations should ensure that researchers fully understand the purpose and processes associated with knowledge translation. Funding organizations should also strongly encourage researchers to consider the addition of relevant knowledge translation thinking and activities early in the research planning stages. It is important that researchers demonstrate awareness of the value and benefits of incorporating knowledge translation in their projects, and not just appear to be complying with funder requirements by ‘ticking-off-boxes.’

If the integrated KT approach (which leverages the involvement of key stakeholders from research inception to completion) is used, ensure that adequate funding is allocated for promotional activities (e.g., public appearances, including information booths at local malls, storefronts and community exhibits; newsletters, public awareness campaigns and advertisements.
