• Description:
  Since our founding in 1990, CPWR - The Center for Construction Research and Training has worked to translate research findings into research-based products and tools that the construction industry can use to improve jobsite safety and to reduce the potential for adverse safety and health outcomes. This effort is called "research to practice" (or r2p), which CPWR defines as the "systematic effort to promote the broad-based application of evidence-based interventions to improve health and safety practices in the construction industry." (Baker et al, 2015) In 2010, CPWR received funding from The National Institute for Safety and Health (NIOSH) to carry out a number of specific r2p initiatives. One initiative was to develop a process by which all CPWR internal and external research teams would be asked to begin planning their r2p activities early in the five-year funding cycle, rather than waiting until the end, when there is little time and money left to do it effectively. To facilitate that change, CPWR created the r2p Roadmap tool (https://www.cpwr.com/research/r2p-tools-roadmaps). This tool asks researchers to consider critical questions about the evidence-based products they will generate from their project, identify stakeholders to involve early on, and think about support they will need to translate their research findings into information that target audiences can use to reduce construction-related occupational injuries and illnesses. In this paper we describe how one research team used the r2p Roadmap to plan their dissemination activities and then provide data to show the success of those efforts. [Description provided by NIOSH]
