Thedatawereanalyzedusingdescriptiveandanalyticalstatistics. Results: Theoverallstatusof knowledgetranslationwasatanaveragelevelwithameanscoreof 2.13outof totalscore5. Thestudied university acquired a mean score of 2.41 (good level) from maximum score 4.22 in the knowledge generation dimension and a mean score of 1.70 (weak level) from maximum score 3.50 in the dimension of promoting the use of evidence. Comparison of themeanscoresof knowledgetranslationanditsdimensionsdidnotshowanysignificantassociationwiththefacultymembers’ characteristics(age,workexperience,gender,educationlevel,academicrank,andschool).
