• A cross-cutting priority for the Department is research that utilizes an implementation science approach, with a focus on demonstrating and spreading best practices.
• Knowledge translation and plain language dissemination plans that target the health and social services policy and decision makers as well as community participants.
• Additional consideration will be given to dissemination plans that have a capacity building enhancement component that may include Aboriginal groups, elders, youth, and school aged children.

This priority is identified under "Other Considerations" in the Government of the Northwest Territories Department of Health and Social Services Research Agenda.
