aNM indicates that the factor in question was not mentioned by the research funder
bN means that the factor applied to the respondent but the respondent considered that it impacted their self-assessed implementation knowledge negatively
cY means that the factor applied to the respondent and that the respondent considered that it impacted their self-assessed implementation knowledge positively
dL means that the research funder (1) mentioned the factor, and (2) explicitly considered that their lack of this factor reduced their self-assessed implementation knowledge
eLK means that the research funder simply expressed that they did not possess the factor in question
fNT stands for ‘not my task’
gMT stands for ‘my task’
hMTI stands for ‘my task with an aim to increase my knowledge’
