Dissemination & Implementation (D&I)

What is Dissemination and Implementation Research?

"Dissemination research is the study of how we can effectively convey evidence and information. Implementation research addresses the challenge of how we can move effective programs, guidelines, interventions and policies into real-world settings so that their potential health benefit for patients and the public at large can be realized."

-National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS)

Translational Science Spectrum
The translational science spectrum represents each stage of research along the path from the biological basis of health and disease to interventions that improve the health of individuals and the public.

Translational Science Benefits Model

D&I of research evidence should result in measurable improved outcomes in broad domains as outlined in the Translational Science Benefits Model, including clinical and medical, community and public health, economic, and policy and legislative benefits. We will regularly measure impact in these broader categories, including assessment of resource needs and cost of scaling up strategies, and the level of resources required to implement research evidence to reach the least resourced groups of patients, providers, and communities.
