To better support CBOs to find and use research evidence we sought to assess the capacity of CBOs in the HIV AIDS sector to acquire assess adapt and apply research evidence in their work. Methods We invited executive directors of HIV AIDS CBOs in Ontario Canada n 51 to complete the Canadian Health Services Research Foundation s Is Research Working for You survey. Findings Based on responses from 25 organizations that collectively provide services to approximately 32 000 clients per year with 290 full-time equivalent staff we found organizational capacity to acquire assess adapt and apply research evidence to be low. CBO strengths include supporting a culture that rewards flexibility and quality improvement exchanging information within their organization and ensuring that their decision-making processes have a place for research. However CBO Executive Directors indicated that they lacked the skills time resources incentives and links with experts to acquire research assess its quality and reliability and summarize it in a userfriendly way. Conclusion Given the limited capacity to find and use research evidence we recommend a capacity-building strategy for HIV AIDS CBOs that focuses on providing the tools resources and skills needed to more consistently acquire assess adapt and apply research evidence. Such a strategy may be appropriate in other sectors and jurisdictions as well given
