Description: This is a PDF and link to a website that includes materials from a workshop on Dissemination and ​implementation in Health and Healthcare. “The workshop objective was to introduce participants to D&I concepts, strategies, and design principles, and to help participants formulate D&I research questions, develop D&I plans, and identify where to access D&I-specific resources. The workshop was designed to be relevant to health researchers, practitioners, and other professionals interested in D&I to improve health and healthcare…” (cited from the website).

Description: This session aims to capture a real-world example of a collaborative, community-engaged research partnership. We hope that viewers are able to use these examples as a model in developing their own Community-Based Participatory Research (CPBR) projects.

The featured CBPR Project is entitled “Establishing a Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) Surveillance Network”, funded by: The Rockefeller University Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS); Pilot Grant and Administrative Supplement (NIH-NCATS Grant # 8-UL1-TR000043). This project is a collaboration between the Rockefeller University, multiple Community Health Centers (Urban health Plan, Manhattan Physicians Group 125th Street, Open Door Family Health Center, Hudson River Health Care, Brookdale Family Care Center, and Manhattan Physicians Group 95th Street), and multiple Practice Based Research Networks (Alliance of Chicago, Clinical Directors Network, Inc. of New York City and STAR-NET, San Antonio Texas). All members are engaged and participate onsite or virtually.

This session provides an example of the collaborative discussion of dissemination strategies needed to disseminate findings of this CBPR project. Dissemination strategies focus on reaching professionals as well as community members. Strategies are discussed, including abstracts and papers and presentations at academic meetings. The CHC team-members are actively involved in this process: they discuss abstracts they have presented and will present at national and local conferences related to the project and brainstorm future dissemination opportunities including live and virtual webcast presentations.

From the toolkit:

“This toolkit is designed to provide clinical and administrative staff at Community Health Centers with the elements involved in building a primary care research infrastructure. Organized into eight stand-alone modules, health center clinicians and staff will find information on the following:

1. Introduction to Quality Improvement and Research
2. Building Primary Care Research Infrastructure
3. Data: Access and Utilization
4. Study Design and Methods Overview
5. Dissemination and Action
6. Funding Your Research
7. Partnerships for Research
8. Ethics and the Institutional Review Board”

Type: Online Module

Level: Basic

Description: A toolkit for health research in partnership with practices and communities that is active and growing: http://www.researchtoolkit.org/

“Sharing research results is both an obligation and an opportunity. Since there are many considerations when a study concludes, we’ve provided several resources to help with the publication process, ideas for dissemination beyond publishing in a research journal, guidance for managing study data, and specific steps to facilitate the formal closure of a study.”

Description: Community health centers that serve our most vulnerable populations play an important role in improving the health of communities. The potential for their role in the research enterprise and in translating evidence into practice is enormous. But, they often lack the infrastructure, resources, and time necessary to effectively lead or collaborate in research. This toolkit is designed to provide clinical and administrative staff at Community Health Centers with the elements involved in building a primary care research infrastructure. Organized into eight stand-alone modules, health center clinicians and staff will find information on the following:

Module 5 discusses the value of disseminating research including dissemination formats and outlines the elements of a research article.

The toolkit is a product of the Safety Net Infrastructure Initiative, a program of the Community Health Innovation and Research Program, Harvard Catalyst | The Harvard Clinical and Translational Science Center.
