The agenda for day 1 focused on eliciting participant experiences with new knowledge applications and the challenges of these processes and activities. The goal was to listen and let participants shape the conversation through small and large group discussions. Outcomes of this conversation included a better understanding of the top-down and bottom-up complexities of research transitions and the collaborative knowledge production activities that are a common motivator. Day 2 focused on sharing examples of successful and ongoing social science research that has or will be transitioned into various operational spaces. Outcomes highlighted participants' common motivations for applying new knowledge, primarily collaboration via engagement with stakeholders, partners, and the public.
