Knowledge Mobilization Efforts by Global Pediatric Oncology Civil Society Organizations: An Environmental Scan Protocol

---

Résumé

Finding reliable, evidence-based information and resources concerning pediatric oncology can be a challenge for childhood cancer community members worldwide. The knowledge mobilization activities of civil society organizations around the world can improve the creation and sharing of pertinent informational resources. A comprehensive understanding of all of the civil society organizations that exist, and their knowledge mobilization activities is missing in the extant literature. This environmental scan of online resources will provide a snapshot of civil society organizations that serve the pediatric oncology community around the world and map the different ways that they disseminate information. Through mapping this organizational landscape, our study will highlight existing gaps and propose novel strategies. This novel global environmental scan methodology will outline each step acting as a guide for others seeking to optimize and magnify knowledge mobilization efforts.
