The Implementation Science (IS) team coordinates and supports training and educational activities in partnership with other academic institutions, professional organizations, and funding agencies. These activities include training programs, an annual conference, and a monthly webinar series that aim to increase the field’s capacity to conduct rigorous implementation research.
Dissemination & Implementation Orientation Webinar
This webinar is an introduction and orientation to the science of dissemination and implementation (D&I) for those who are new to this field.

Training Institute for Dissemination and Implementation Research in Cancer (TIDIRC)
The Training Institute for Dissemination and Implementation Research in Cancer (TIDIRC) provides participants with a thorough grounding in conducting D&I research with a specific focus on cancer. All online training materials are open access. Applications for the facilitated program are accepted annually. Learn more.
Training Institute for Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health (TIDIRH)
Update: This program is no longer active. The Training Institute for Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health (TIDIRH) was developed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to help build capacity in dissemination and implementation research. TIDIRH was held annually from 2011 through 2015 as a residential training program. From 2016 through 2020, TIDIRH has met in the Washington, D.C. area offered as a dual online and in-person training.
