  • 18th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health

    Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center 201 Waterfront St., National Harbor, MD, United States

    This December, individuals on the frontlines of dissemination and implementation (D&I) science will convene to ensure that evidence is used to inform decisions that will improve the health of individuals and communities. Through a combination of plenaries, concurrent sessions, poster presentations, and workshops, the 18th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health, co-hosted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and AcademyHealth, supports the collective understanding of the research agenda, puts forth new findings, and identifies research priorities to set the field up for the next decade. 2025 Conference Theme Realizing the Benefits of Dissemination & Implementation Science This year’s conference theme will address our existing and future efforts to maximize the benefits of D&I science. While our field has identified and tested a range of strategies to ensure the adoption, integration, sustainment, and spread of effective health interventions, less attention has been focused on the ultimate benefits of successful dissemination and implementation studies. The 18th Annual Science of D&I Conference will explore success stories, methodological advancements, challenges, and opportunities to realize the benefits of our science across health care, community, and public health systems.
