Toolkits for dissemination and implementation research: Preliminary development

J Clin Transl Sci. 2018 Aug;2(4):239-244. doi: 10.1017/cts.2018.316.

Abstract

The Dissemination and Implementation Research Core, a research methods core from the Clinical and Translation Science Award at Washington University in St. Louis Institute of Clinical and Translational Sciences, developed toolkits about dissemination and implementation (D&I) concepts (e.g., D&I outcomes, strategies). This paper reports on the development of the toolkits. These toolkits respond to 3 identified needs for capacity building in D&I research: resources for investigators new to the D&I field, consolidation of tools, and limitations in local contexts.

Keywords: Implementation; NCATS; capacity building; dissemination; toolkit.
