Paul M. Kubek, MA, is director of communications at the Center for Evidence-Based Practices (CEBP) at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Kubek has developed an expertise in knowledge translation and research dissemination (bringing science to service) with more than 20 years of experience writing for university-based dissemination projects, as well as other initiatives in the public and private sectors. He focuses on translating the knowledge of researchers and practitioners from multiple disciplines into useful dissemination tools that are accessible, inspirational, and educational for diverse groups of individuals.
In his work, Mr. Kubek combines experience in feature writing, technical writing, art direction, and project management for the development of print, web, and audio productions.

With his leadership, the Center's communications initiatives have helped the Center's consulting, training, and evaluation teams earn a national reputation for successfully bridging the gap between the university and the community, between science and service, between policy and practice.
