Knowledge brokering: The missing link in the evidence to action chain? [link]Website  abstract   bibtex   
Transferring healthcare research into policy and practice is a messy and complex process that both policy makers and researchers can struggle with. A potential solution is to use individuals or organisations as knowledge brokers. Using a range of literature, this paper explains the theory behind knowledge brokering identifies three models of brokering and explores the challenges of brokering. We suggest that clarifying these factors is a significant step towards planning well-designed and rigorously evaluated brokering interventions.We also suggest that a clearly defined theoretical framework could help us to find out more about how brokering works and its effectiveness. ©The Policy Press.
