  • March 15-16, 2010

    The *3rd Annual NIH conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation * will be held on March 15-16, 2010 in Bethesda , Maryland . The annual conference is a large scientific forum for information-exchange and networking among researchers working in the newly emerging fields of dissemination and implementation research. The theme of this year’s conference is *Methods and Measurement *. There was very high turnout (indeed oversubscribed) at the conference last year and the organizers expect an even larger turnout this year. The conference is free and if you wish to attend we suggest you sign up early through the website : ttp://conferences.thehillgroup.com/obssr/DI2010/registrationform.cfm

    This conference is an excellent opportunity for Fogarty grantees to learn about the latest advances and research in dissemination and implementation science. While the conference largely focuses on research in the United States and Canada, last year Fogarty played a critical role in higlighting the importance of implementation science research in low- and middle-income countries. You can *submit an abstract through *http://conferences.thehillgroup.com/obssr/DI2010/abstracts.html. Please see the attached the Call for Proposals (or click on the website above), which has information on the conference, registration, and instructions for abstract submission. On page 3, you will see that *international implementation science research (bullet 5 and 6) * is one of the domains of interest to the conference. The deadline for submission is *November 6, 2009. *

    To make full use of the knowledge and expertise that will be present at the 3rd Annual NIH Dissemination and Implementation Conference, *Fogarty will host a one-day satellite networking meeting entitled “ Implementation Science and Global Health” * immediately following the main conference on *March 17 *. This meeting will focus on (but not be limited to) the implementation science research, training and curriculum development projects of Fogarty Grantees and Trainees. At this point, we are in the early planning stages for this meeting and would like to hear from you, the grantees, about areas of dissemination and implementation research you would like to see showcased.

    Examples include:

    • Training international implementation science researchers – what are the skills and tools needed to equip researchers for implementation science work?
    • The application of implementation science research methods in resource-constrained settings.
    • Strategies to build and linkages between in-country implementation science researchers with PEPFAR and PMI program implementers to strengthen service delivery and health outcomes.
    • Working with national and local governments to bridge the research to policy gap.
