...Holmes et al. Implementation Science 2012, 7:39 http://www.implementationscience.com/content/7/1/39 Implementation Science DEBATE Open Access Translating evidence into practice: the role of health research funders Bev Holmes*, Gayle Scarrow and Megan Schellenberg Abstract Background: A growing body of work on knowledge translation (KT) reveals significant gaps between what is known to improve health, and what is done to improve health. The literature and practice also suggest that KT has the potential to narrow those gaps, leading to more evidence-informed healthcare. In response, Canadian health research funders and agencies have made KT a priority. This article describes how one funding agency determined its KT role and in the process developed a model that other agencies could use when considering KT programs. Discussion: While ‘excellence’ is an important criterion by which to evaluate and fund health research, it alone does not ensure relevance to societal health priorities. There is increased demand for return on investments in health research in the form of societal and health system benefits. Canadian health research funding agencies are responding to these demands by emphasizing relevance as a funding criterion and supporting researchers and research users to use the evidence generated. Based on recommendations from the literature, an environmental scan, broad circulation of an iterative discussion paper, and an expert working group process, our agency developed...

...in this process is obtaining a Certificate of Need (CON). A certificate of need program helps the public by helping to guide facilities to set up where they are most needed and help healthcare practitioners by helping to prevent them from getting into markets already swamped with similar providers (State of Alaska, 2012). The purpose of this paper is to examine the CON process for the state of Alabama by addressing the facilities that require a CON, the steps in the CON process, how to appeal the CON process, and state exemptions to the CON process. Facilities That Require a Certificate of Need There are many different types of facilities that require a certificate of need. There are many actions that make a certificate of need necessary (Research & Planning Consultants, 2014). Construction, establishment, or acquisition of new healthcare facilities, including: general and many specialized hospitals skilled nursing facilities intermediate care facilities specialty care assisted living facilities (SCALFs) skilled or intermediate care units in veterans' homes rehabilitation centers ambulatory surgery centers facilities for End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) treatment (dialysis) some alcohol and drug abuse facilities home health agencies hospice (Research & Planning Consultants, 2014, para. 7). There are other situations that require a CON as well. According to Research & Planning Consultants (2014), if a facility adds beds or changes the classification of their beds...
