Description:

HIV implementation and dissemination science has become a high priority for federal funding agencies, but many are left unequipped to move in this direction. Join the Third Coast Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) on January 29 for a hybrid seminar focused on what dissemination science and practice is, similarities to and differences from implementation science and practice, and how to study dissemination to inform grants. The seminar will highlight how YOU—regardless of your background or the type of science you do—can benefit from improved dissemination of your work.

The seminar will also introduce the Third Coast CFAR’s new Dissemination Science (DisSci) and Practice Scientific Working Group, provide an overview of what it will offer Third Coast CFAR members (including new dissemination consults, education, and pilot awards), share dissemination science and practice examples from existing members’ projects, and introduce tools to help you begin thinking about dissemination.

This presentation is for you if you…

...disseminate your work primarily in academic journals and conferences, but are curious about making an impact beyond them

...struggle to concisely articulate the “so what” of your work to others outside your area
are unsure what to put in your Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) or other progress reports for “community dissemination”

...are new to dissemination and implementation science and are curious about it

...are an implementation science expert but want to learn more about dissemination

...want to learn how to integrate dissemination science and practice into the work you already do.

Following the seminar, the Third Coast CFAR will host a dissemination workshop in mid-February (date TBA) where attendees will get hands-on experience and individualized support from leadership of the DisSci Scientific Working Group and the Behavioral, Social, and Implementation Sciences (BSIS) Core. We will brainstorm new grant ideas, plan how you can easily integrate dissemination science or practice into your existing grants to maximize impact, and have a networking reception immediately following. To be notified when the dissemination workshop is scheduled, sign up for the Third Coast CFAR monthly newsletter.
