Understanding Knowledge Translation in Research For Research Nurses
Nurses have often been great contributors to research in low-income settings mainly as research nurses. This role mainly involves being at the frontline and conducting ethical procedures, collecting data from participants, and ensuring the effective filing of all data from the research participants. This role is the main engine of any research study, and many times nurses undergo protocol training to ensure that they understand the procedures and processes involved.
Upon completion of data collection, data processing, and dissemination are often done by the Principal Investigators and with hardly any participation of the research nurses despite being the key players in the generation of the findings. This is evidenced in many scientific conferences where there hardly any nurses present abstracts or are keynote speakers. This translates to a lack of skills among many research nurses in Africa in Knowledge translation (converting research findings into practice).

Stakeholder Mapping and Engagement for Research Uptake
The ARCH programme conducted three virtual stakeholder mapping workshops in Africa, Latin America, and Asia to understand who the key stakeholders in research uptake were, why they might be interested, how important their involvement is, and how to engage with them in a way that can contribute to successful research uptake. The workshops also identified the gaps in research uptake.
