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, but how is this best accomplished? Although emerging as a field of research in health and medicine, dissemination and implementation science is as yet underdeveloped. A forum is needed to facilitate growth in the science of dissemination and implementation. The National Institutes of Health is pleased to announce that this year’s annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation, Methods and Measurement, will provide such a forum.
Researchers and evaluators who are interested in identifying opportunities and obstacles for dissemination and implementation research/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 designs, methods and measurement that will advance dissemination and implementation science.
To meet the goal of this year’s conference—to stimulate conversation among researchers and experts in the field—the conference will again 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 15-16, 2010 at the Hyatt Regency Bethesda, Maryland.
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 tab.
Proposal Submission Deadline: 5 PM Pacific Time on November 6, 2009
Conference Registration Deadline: Midnight Pacific Time February 12, 2010

A technical assistance question and answer session will be held the afternoon of March 16th. Investigators may request 15 minute individual sessions with relevant NIH program staff to discuss their research ideas. Individual sessions will be scheduled concurrent to the Q&A session.
Technical assistance is intended for researchers who are interested in submitting an application under the current funding opportunity announcements, with an emphasis on small grants (R03s) and exploratory/developmental grants (R21s). See: “Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health,” PAR-06-520, and PAR-06-521; http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-06-520.html; http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-06-521.html).
Participants interested in individual sessions with NIH program staff must submit a one page abstract including the following:
- Key question to be answered by the research
- Summary of approach and methods
- Any questions about advancing the topic further
These abstracts will be used to provide content specific feedback to investigators.
Submit your one page abstract as a Word document to hkim@thehillgroup.com by January 29, 2010. In the subject line of the email, please indicate the Technical Assistance Session Submission. |
