There is no fee to register for this conference. Please note: this year’s conference will NOT be available for viewing online.

There is a recognized need to close the gap between research evidence and clinical and public health practice and policy. How is this best accomplished? Dissemination and implementation research in health seeks to answer this question, and is gaining momentum as a field of scientific inquiry. The goal of the annual NIH Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation is to facilitate growth in the research base by providing a forum for communicating and networking about the science of dissemination and implementation.

Researchers, evaluators and implementers who are interested in identifying opportunities and strategies for overcoming obstacles for dissemination and implementation research and evaluation are encouraged to attend this meeting. The goal is to engage in dialog, exchange ideas, explore contemporary topics and challenge one another to identify and test research approaches that will advance dissemination and implementation science.

To meet the goal of the conference—to stimulate conversation among researchers and experts in the field—the conference will include Panels of scientific leaders, and include Think Tanks in addition to traditional Plenary Sessions, Concurrent Oral Presentation Sessions and Poster Sessions. Sessions will be structured to encourage interaction and networking between participants.

The conference will be held on March 21-22, 2011 at the Bethesda North Marriott, Maryland, conveniently located on Washington, D.C.’s Metrorail Red Line (White Flint stop).

Applicants are encouraged to submit abstracts for oral presentations/panels, posters, and think tanks (which applicants will lead). Descriptions of each type of session, and instructions for abstract submission, are described in the Call for Proposals section.

Proposal Submission Deadline: 5:00 PM Pacific Time on November 12, 2010

Conference Registration Deadline: 11:59 PM Eastern Time on February 18, 2011



INFORMATION ON D & I TRAINING SOUGHT

Display
As part of the March 21-22, 2011 annual NIH Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation (D & I) Research, there will be opportunity to display materials and provide information on training programs and resources in D and I. If interested, and for further information about this opportunity, please contact Helen Meissner via email (hm36d@nih.gov) no later than March 1st for details and restrictions. Note that space is limited and will be allocated on a first come first serve basis, assuming the materials to be displayed meet requirements (e.g., this is NOT for general training or degree programs, or commercial advertising, medical devices or drugs).

Directory
In addition to the opportunity to reserve a display table, we also invite you to submit information regarding implementation science training programs for inclusion in a training program directory to be posted on the conference website and distributed at the conference in a printed list. For more information and instructions for submitting your program, please contact the VA Center for Implementation Practice and Research Support via email (ciprs@va.gov).

NOTE ABOUT GRANT WRITING WORKSHOP

A grant writing workshop will be held the afternoon of March 22nd.

The workshop is intended for researchers who are interested in submitting an application under current funding opportunity announcements (FOA’s), with an emphasis on small grants (R03s) and exploratory/developmental grants (R21s). See: “Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health,” PAR-10-039 (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-10-039.html), and PAR-10-040 (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-10-040.html) and “Researching Implementation and Change while Improving Quality” (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-08-136.html). Related FOA’s will be discussed at the workshop.

Additional details on the workshop and the agenda will be available soon.
