Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health

Through a combination of plenaries, concurrent sessions, poster presentations, and workshops, the 17th 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.

2024 Conference Theme

Moving Fast and Slow: Optimizing the Pace of Implementation

This year’s conference theme will address the underexplored concept of the pace of D&I. The D&I science community has known for decades that it takes too long for too little of evidence-based care to reach everyone who could benefit. Much energy has been spent on the second part of the equation—can we increase the volume of evidence-based care delivered–with less attention to the optimal pace at which this should happen. In the 17th  year of the D&I Conference, we will explore methodological advancements, challenges and opportunities to understanding how to investigate and optimize implementation pace across health care, and community and public health systems.
