“…….Although the field of dissemination and implementation research is steadily growing, leaders acknowledge the limited capacity within the research and practice community to conduct the necessary studies. In this spirit, the National Institutes of Health invites you to the second annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation, Building Research Capacity to Bridge the Gap from Science to Service. This year’s conference will provide interactive forums for the development and growth of the field, with a particular focus on ways in which research capacity can be enhanced. Researchers working in the field and/or interested in identifying opportunities and obstacles for dissemination and implementation research are encouraged to attend this meeting.

The goal of the conference is for the research community to exchange ideas, explore contemporary topics and identify concepts, methods and strategies to build research and organizational capacity for dissemination and implementation science. ………..”
