commitment to this crucial process.<br \/>\nThese obstacles include :   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lack of time and funding<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having generally dealt with the &#8220;hazards of research&#8221; during the project, time runs out at the end.<br \/>\nThe time available is often used to obtain new research funding, in order to keep the teams in place. <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lack of financial resources to finalize dissemination work and promote results can be another major obstacle.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Publication race<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pressure to publish quickly in academic journals can divert teams&#8217; attention from other dissemination activities, which are often perceived as secondary.<br \/>\nOne study showed that researchers feel strong pressure to publish, which can prevent them from devoting time to communicating results to non-specialists or study participants.<br \/>\nThis race to publish can also lead to a fragmentation of dissemination efforts, with researchers focusing more on producing new articles rather than communicating existing results (Johann et al., 2024) (1).    <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lack of expertise<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s not easy to wear all the hats that come with being a researcher (manager, research analyst, accountant, writer, videographer, graphic designer, fire extinguisher ;-). You have to know how to raise your hand and ask for help, either from your institution if it offers communications services, or from an external service provider like our agency.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Complex political and institutional processes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The complexity of political and institutional processes can also hamper the dissemination of knowledge. Researchers often have to navigate complex bureaucratic systems to reach policy-makers and other stakeholders. One study found that researchers perceive political processes as a major challenge to knowledge dissemination, due to differences in objectives and priorities between researchers and decision-makers (NCBI, 2018) (2).  <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56ec75d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"56ec75d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a76db54 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a76db54\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Presentation of our summary sheet on knowledge dissemination<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d38e5a7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d38e5a7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b6791ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b6791ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our summary sheet gives you an overview of the elements to consider when creating an effective knowledge dissemination plan.
