This requires efforts to translate their findings for effective communication. For technology-related knowledge these audiences include clinicians consumers manufacturers public policy agencies and knowledge brokers. One potentially efficient approach is to communicate research findings through relevant national organizations. However this requires an understanding of how such organizations view and treat research knowledge which can be determined through knowledge-value mapping. Do knowledge values differ between national organizations representing different audiences Can a deeper understanding of knowledge values help sponsors investigators and organizations better communicate research findings to stakeholders Methods A series of comparative case studies on knowledge-value mapping were derived through interviews with spokespersons for six national organizations. The semi-structured interviews followed a 10-item questionnaire to characterize different ways in which each organization engages with research-based knowledge. Each participating organization represents a particular stakeholder group while all share a common interest in the research subject matter. Results Each national organization considers the value of the research knowledge in the context of their organization s mission and the interests of their members. All are interested in collaborating with researchers to share relevant findings while they vary along the following dimensions of knowledge .
