The Dissemination and Implementation in Diabetes Research Core aims to accelerate the application of advanced methods in D&I science, enhance the impact of web-based D&I tools and resources, and build team capacity in the skills essential for D&I of diabetes translation research.
Core Services
- Provide one-on-one consultation to help investigators:
- Conceptualize and design D&I research questions and aims
- Select and apply D&I frameworks, methods, and measures
- Improve manuscript and grant applications by conducting careful reviews
- Assist investigators in navigating and using D&I toolkits, video libraries, and web-tools
- Navigate a library of stakeholder engagement activities and method for capturing stakeholder preferences using designing for dissemination principles (e.g., interview guides, analysis plans).
- Engage WU-CDTR investigators and those affiliated across the Center network in the Washington University Network for Dissemination and Implementation Research (WUNDIR), a regular event that addresses D&I methods and conceptual challenges
- Build capacity in transdisciplinary team science across four phases: development, conceptualization, implementation, and translation
