The data were gathered using tools developed by Knott & Wildavsky (1980), and Landry et al (2003), and they were analyzed using SPSS, v13.  Results : The results showed that at the individual level , the highest activity was presenting and participating at the conference, the lowest participation was in " commercial activities". Factors as "the research based on consumer needs" and "the years served as nursing instructor" had statistically significant relationship with personal research transfer performance ) P< 0/05 .(  Conclusion: Findings indicate that the instructor’s individual performance in research transfer was statistically significant correlation with some factors. So it is necessary to promote and encourage the performances but also considering determinants and intervening factors. Keywords: Knowledge transfer, Knowledge, Nursing, Nursing research, Nurse Educator     Address: University of Medical Sciences, Aras international campus, Department of Medical-Surgical Nursing.   Tel: (+98)9372681253   Email: mohamadian63@gmail.com   [1] Associate Professor in Department of Pediatric Nursing, School of Nursing and Midwifery Tabriz University of Medical Sciences.   [2] Associate Professor in Department of Medical-Surgical Nursing, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences.   [3] MSN in nursing education, Faculty member at Tabriz University of Medical Sciences , medical-surgical nursing department.   [4] MSN in nursing education, Ardebil University of Medical Sciences, Department of Medical-Surgical Nursing.  [5] Master of science in nursing, University of Medical Sciences, Aras international compus, Department of Medical-Surgical Nursing.
