Abstract
This article examines the implementing of the action plan for Evidence-Informed Policy Network (EVIPNet Brazil), describing its activities from January/2013 to March/2016 and discussing its relevance to the consolidation of the initiative as a knowledge translation platform for the Brazilian Public Healthcare System (SUS). A case study was written using a descriptive approach. The data were collected by the Executive Secretary of EVIPNet Brazil, by analyzing the annual reports and directly consulting the coordination of the Network in the Brazilian Ministry of Health. The study identifies activities in four categories: training activities, support to the development of the network, knowledge translation products and diffusion and dissemination activities. The most relevant activities include capacity building for implementation of the SUPPORT tools, lato-sensu graduate and online courses, public call press-release to support projects, building summaries (Evidence Brief for Policy), deliberative dialogues organizations, scientific articles publication, website maintenance, performance in virtual social networks and participation in scientific and management events. The results showed sustained growth of the activities of EVIPNet Brazil and suggest that the network is becoming a robust instrument of knowledge translation in Brazil.
