Dear Sarah,

Following an earlier mail, I am writing to inform you that I am carrying out a study that involves performing knowledge audits of publicly funded research projects.

An outline of the rationale and motivation and methodology are listed on this publicly accessible website:

https://sites.google.com/site/kaframework/

One of the goals of the study is to understand how public research bodies regulate and monitor the dissemination of knowledge

I would be grateful if you could provide the following information about the knowledge sharing behaviour of your funding body:

FUNDING BODY POLICY SURVEY FORM

Project leaders will be contacted in the next few days to be informed of the audit procedure, which takes place remotely and unobtrusively via  searches of the respective project websites, so that they can point us to relevant repositories and sources of knowledge that can be publicly  accessed.

Summary findings and recommendations of this study will be made available to you in preview form, before publication.

Please do let me have any questions you may have at this stage

Best Regards

Paola Di Maio

KAF Project Lead
