The CTSC Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) Science Program provides training, consultation, and resources to help researchers move evidence into practice and policy. We collaborate across departments and partner institutions to develop and apply innovative D&I methods, incorporate human-centered design, advance health equity in implementation research, and build sustainable capacity for D&I science through mentorship and education. 

Our program serves as a hub for investigators at all career stages who aim to increase the real-world impact of their research. We offer tailored learning opportunities for a diverse group of scholars, including K scholars and junior faculty, graduate students, mid-level investigators, and senior investigators who are seeking to integrate D&I approaches into their ongoing research.

Mission: Accelerate the translation of research into real-world impact by supporting investigators in integrating D&I science into their studies.
