It is characterized by diverse research partnerships, and iterative knowledge engagement, translation processes and democratized knowledge production. This paper reviews the methodological complexity and decision-making of a large iKT project called Seniors - Adding Life to Years (SALTY), designed to generate evidence to improve late life in long-term care (LTC) settings across Canada. We discuss our approach to iKT by reviewing iterative processes of team development and knowledge engagement within the LTC sector. We conclude with a brief discussion of the important opportunities, challenges, and implications these processes have for LTC research, and the sector more broadly.}, keywords = {Late Life,Long-term Care,Integrated Knowledge Translation,Quality of Life,Canada}, url = {https://www.ijhpm.com/article_3708.html}, eprint = {https://www.ijhpm.com/article_3708_99c1311b91d2009e9811ecb42b2d32bf.pdf} }
