Engaging stakeholders in grant development is feasible, even with tight timelines. Their input is valuable for research agendas and knowledge translation, though most prefer moderate participation.
Area of Science:
- Community-based participatory research
- Knowledge translation science
- Youth mental health research
Background:
- Developing effective grant applications requires robust stakeholder engagement.
- Integrated knowledge translation (IKT) plans emphasize collaboration throughout the research lifecycle.
- Youth mental health and substance use issues necessitate cross-sectoral collaboration.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a stakeholder engagement process for grant application development.
- To provide recommendations for researchers on effective stakeholder involvement.
- To assess stakeholder preferences for participation in research.
Main Methods:
- Phase 1: Established a stakeholder consultation group.
- Phase 2: Conducted surveys with 333 youth-serving organizations in Ontario.
- Utilized a mixed-methods approach combining consultation and surveys.
Main Results:
- 28 stakeholders participated in consultation, with 19 assuming formal project roles.
- 206 surveys returned (62% response rate), confirming support for the grant's focus on concurrent youth mental health and substance use.
- Stakeholders provided input on research priorities and knowledge translation, preferring moderate involvement levels.
Conclusions:
- Meaningful stakeholder engagement in grant development is achievable despite challenges.
- Researchers must consider the practical constraints faced by organizations participating in research.
- Successful engagement requires balancing stakeholder input with project feasibility.

01:31Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
