Dissemination & Implementation Science
Dissemination & Implementation Science Program
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.
Join our monthly D&I Works in Progress meeting, a casual and collegial forum where investigators at all career stages - from students and postdoctoral scholars to junior and senior faculty - can share projects in development and receive constructive feedback. Presentations may include study ideas, grant proposals, manuscripts, implementation projects, or works in progress at any stage. The goal is to foster collaboration, strengthen projects, and build connections across the D&I community in a supportive environment.
