Common use of Scholarship of Application Clause in Contracts

Scholarship of Application. The scholarship of application is defined as the reflective investigation of the dynamic interaction between theory and practice. From this investigation new understandings are developed through both the exploration of how peer reviewed concepts, principles, research findings and theories are applied in practice, and the exploration of how they are explored in relation to peer reviewed concepts, principles, research findings and theories. In professional programs, the maintenance of practice competency of faculty and the advancement of practice knowledge in the discipline or field of study are critical components of the scholarship of application. This form of scholarship asks questions such as “How can this knowledge be helpful to society?”, and “How can this problem be solved given our current knowledge?” Application research can result in discovery research, where the answer to the question results in a line of inquiry that pursues new knowledge in order to fill a gap in current knowledge. A significant amount of medical discovery research, for example, is generated as a result of seeking solutions to a problem (such as a cure for a disease) that then leads to the recognition of the need for new knowledge. Evidence of the Scholarship of Application Documented evidence of the scholarship of application may include but is not limited to the following: • Peer reviewed grant awards in support of professional initiatives or applications of research to societal issues; • Peer-reviewed presentations related to the application of research to address issues of concern to society; • Peer-reviewed publications in journals of applied research; • Synthesis of literature related to a particular societal problem; • Evaluative Reports of professional demonstration projects including recommendations for future implementation; • Publication of policy papers related to societal issues or professional issues impacting society and with peer review and dissemination; • Work conducted by traditional Indigenous methods or by other culturally appropriate data-gathering, that is reviewed by Elders and/or Knowledge Carriers/Keepers, and shared with Indigenous communities, group and/or organizations through knowledge mobilization activities, oral presentations and/or papers, leading to the mobilization and translation of traditional Indigenous knowledges and practices, in consultation with Elders and Knowledge Carriers/Keepers within the relevant communities, consistent with their protocols and practices.
