7.1 Provide access to a wide range of knowledge and decision-making tools
Decisions on how knowledge will be disseminated throughout the research, and beyond, ideally would be discussed when developing visions and objectives together. There are many ways to share knowledge and many useful decision support tools, but they will only be as valuable as the particular needs of the group and their specific context defines. For example, identifying the research problem might make use of tools such as key informant interviews, focus groups, Delphi technique, a nominal group technique, or some other. The ultimate and ideal choice will be reliant on the specific needs of the group, as defined by themselves, and will include an understanding of group dynamics and cultural factors.

7.2 Share information and networks
Findings, knowledge gained and networks should be disseminated to all partners throughout the project.
