In the health research field, there is a clear and growing need to use the scientific knowledge produced into health strategies, actions and policies. In this regard, the knowledge translation became critical for health research. The present project aims to maximize the potential of the knowledge translation within the context of the projects supported by the two Grand Challenges Brazil programs: Reducing the Burden of Preterm Birth and All Children Thriving. This knowledge will allow the strengthening of the theoretical framework and the understanding of the utility, potentialities and limitations of the knowledge translation process in different research projects, contexts and populations. This project also aims to reach a better understanding of the impact of the knowledge translation process in the empowerment and capacity building of several stakeholders in the promotion of their role as changing agents, maximizing globally the health results. In this paper we will describe protocol of the project, the activities already started and the preliminary results, namely the description of a workshop conducted, discussing future stages and conclusions. This process will be based in the operational activities of several projects, and it’s designed to induce collaboratively knowledge sharing amongst the different audiences in the elaboration and development of the knowledge translation plans, the decisions concerning the applicability, use of the products and followup of the impacts obtained.Therefore, it will contribute to develop the skills of the researchers in knowledge translation, promoting this process within each project, as well as contribute to maximize the relevance of the results of research to their users and for the society in general, from the beginning of its implementation
