April Meeting – Writing Workshop
An invitation…to participate in the writing workshop at the Toronto meeting in April.
We are interested in having members attend the writing workshop who:
a) have ideas for other papers (on theme(s) not already selected below), AND
b) who are interested in collaborating on papers.
Are you interested in co-writing some papers about the early development of the KTTC? A group of us (Evelyn Cornelissen, Robin Urquhart, Vivian Chan, Ryan DeForge, Heather Colquhoun, Shannon Sibbald, Holly Witteman) have submitted a meeting report to Implementation Science entitled “Creating a knowledge translation trainee collaborative: from conceptualization to lessons learned in the first year”. We would like to take the time devoted to the writing workshop on Wed, April 27 (the first day of our in-person meeting) to develop a solid plan and outlines for the next papers to emerge from this meeting report. Our thoughts (emergent and developmental, so open to change!) are as follows:
1. We start the writing workshop with a discussion on papers – topics, number of them, content, authorship. Current papers include: envisioning ourselves, who’s a who, happy discensus – based on the principal principles developed at our first meeting in Winnipeg. We don’t have one on the overarching theme of principal principles or on the creating space experience, yet, so if there’s anyone out there who wants to lead one of these or any other topics you think of, please let us know.
2. What the writing workshop will look like – we’re open to having this evolve to fit the needs of participants. Our original thinking was that we would stay as one large group and go through each manuscript to flesh out from outline/early draft to a more robust draft WHILE ensuring the collection of papers don’t overlap and do complement each other if possible.
3. The session will include time to explore any new ideas for papers and triage/discuss them accordingly.
So…if you are interested in participating, please post a response to this posting and/or email Evelyn at ecorneli@interchange.ubc.ca.
Thanks. We look forward to seeing you in Toronto!

If you attended the call, Viv, I’d love to hear/read a brief synopsis. Was it worthwhile? If so, will it be archived and available for listening in the future?
