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.

What we offer: 

  • Consultation on theories, models, and frameworks
  • Guidance on pragmatic and hybrid trial designs
  • Support for integration of qualitative and mixed methods
  • Tools for stakeholder engagement and equity-focused implementation
  • Mentorship and collaboration across UC Davis and national partners
  • Education and training opportunities through formal courses, a works-in-progress seminar, and peer-to-peer mentorship
