Knowledge brokering facilitates exchanges between researchers and practitioners but remains underexplored in the French public health system. Methods: This study evaluates a knowledge brokering intervention within the Ile-de-France Regional Health Agency (ARS). The intervention aimed to strengthen staff capacities through knowledge translation activities, including training sessions and thematic groups. A qualitative evaluation was conducted based on participant observations and 16 semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed both inductively and deductively using a coding framework focused on effectiveness, implementation, and influencing factors. Results: The intervention was well received, supported by strong institutional leadership and motivated stakeholders. However, participation remained limited due to time constraints, a lack of clarity regarding the role of brokers, and difficulties integrating the intervention into existing mechanisms. While thematic groups and the MOOC helped strengthen staff knowledge and skills, their impact on decision-making was modest, and dissemination across the different departments of the Regional Health Agency was limited. Discussion: The evaluation prompted adjustments in the intervention and highlighted the need to redefine the knowledge brok-ering function to better fit this context-for example, by estab-lishing brokering as a dedicated unit. specialized health policies administration knowledge translation evaluation knowledge brokering FRANCE 056 38 1 [ p.] 2026 0995-3914 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010097021 10.3917/spub.261.0015 0995-3914 [F B010097021] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010097021 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2026-05/010097021.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2026-05-20 2026-06-02 fdi:010097021 fre
