Subject: 2012 Training Institute for Dissemination and Implementation Research: Call for Applications
2012 Training Institute for
Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health (TIDIRH)
July 9-13, 2012
Dolce Hayes Mansion, San Jose, California
Applications now being accepted (through March 2nd)
One of the most critical issues impeding improvements in public health today
is the enormous gap between what we know can optimize health and healthcare
and what actually gets used and implemented in every day practice. The
science of dissemination and implementation (D&I) seeks to address this gap
by understanding how to best ensure that evidence-based strategies to
improve health and prevent disease are effectively delivered in clinical and
public health practice.
Institute Goals
The Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research, National Institutes
of Health, in partnership with the National Cancer Institute, the National
Institute of Mental Health, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, is
sponsoring this 5-day training institute to provide participants with a
thorough grounding in conducting dissemination and implementation research
in health. Faculty and guest lecturers will consist of leading experts
(practitioners and teachers) in theory, implementation and evaluation
approaches to D&I, creating partnerships and multi-level transdisciplinary
research teams, research design, methods and analyses appropriate for D&I
investigations and conducting research at different and multiple levels of
interventions (e.g., clinical, community, policy).
Participant Eligibility Requirements
This training is designed for investigators at any career stage interested
in conducting Dissemination and Implementation (D&I)
research.
To be eligible, participants must NOT have received R18, R01 or
R01-equivalent funding as a principal investigator for D&I research. Note,
investigators who have received an R01 or equivalent are eligible, as long
as the funding was not specifically for D&I research. Preference will be
given to applicants who demonstrate experience with, or potential for,
working effectively in transdisciplinary teams and who have strong
partnerships with-or are embedded within-healthcare delivery or
community-based organization settings. We seek a balance of both junior and
senior investigators, with the overall goal of bringing new people into the
field of D&I research.
In addition, to be eligible, participants must meet all of the following
criteria:
* Hold a doctoral level degree (PhD, ScD, MD, DrPH, DO, DVM, DNSc,
DrPH, etc.).
* Have demonstrated experience and expertise in health science (e.g.,
medicine, behavioral medicine, nursing, medical anthropology, health
economics, health policy).
* Have a feasible D&I research concept to bring to the institute and
develop throughout the week. This should be a project the applicant is
seriously interested in conducting and/or submitting for funding.
* Federal employees are not eligible with the exception of individuals
whose position allow them to receive grants and function as independent
researchers (e.g., VA research investigators).
* Be willing and able to attend the entire training 5-day institute,
if accepted.
Applicants are NOT required to be citizens, permanent residents, or
non-citizen nationals of the United States. However, expenses will only be
paid for domestic travel within the U.S. (domestic air/train fare, lodging
during the institute, government per diem rate for meals not provided, and
domestic ground transportation/airport transfers).

Great idea Viv! Maybe the new KTTC steering committee can add this as a potential future activity to consider…either sending a contingent to Ireland (who then reports back to the group) or planning something similar in conjunction to a conference/meeting here in Canada.
