NMD4C Knowledge Translation (KT) Webinar Series
Did you know? In September, the network’s Knowledge Translation team launched a webinar series to provide a variety of information, tools and general guidelines to facilitate evidence-based practice.
If you missed the first KT webinar on September 29, it’s not too late! If you wish to watch (or re-watch) Dr. Lamontagne’s presentation ‘’Setting up the basics for a successful KT plan’’, you can learn about the knowledge-to-action framework, including the differences between the end of grant and integrated KT plans, specific challenges with KT in the context of neuromuscular disease, and how to develop a KT plan for a CIHR- grant. You can still access a recording here.
Share your knowledge translation experience with us!
Did you recently apply KT skills in your clinical practice? Are you aware of any KT projects around you that you believe could benefit other colleagues? If you have an example of a successful (or constructive!) KT story, the NMD4C KT team would love to hear from you. We hope that sharing these experiences within the network can inspire other members of the neuromuscular community to explore the different KT options they have available to them, and to implement these strategies in their work.
If you would like to share a KT project with the network, please contact network communications coordinator James Davis at .

NMD4C Investigators Awarded $5.7 Million as Part of National Team to Advance 3D Models for Brain and Neuromuscular Research
NMD4C investigators are part of a national research team awarded $5.7 million in Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) infrastructure funding to support the development of advanced 3D human tissue models for brain and neuromuscular research. The initiative brings together researchers from The Ottawa Hospital, the University of Ottawa, and the University of Toronto, and is co‑led by NMD4C investigator Dr. Michael Rudnicki, alongside Dr. Penney Gilbert and Dr. Mireille Khacho. This shared infrastructure will enable cutting‑edge neuromuscular and neural tissue research, accelerate discovery, and provide hands‑on training opportunities for trainees across Canada.
