Dissemination and Implementation (D&I)

The Dissemination and Implementation unit’s mission is to support innovative approaches to identifying, understanding, and developing strategies for overcoming barriers to the adoption, adaptation, integration, scale-up and sustainability of evidence-based interventions, tools, policies, and guidelines.

Dissemination refers to active efforts to spread knowledge and innovations based on research findings. Implementation refers to active efforts to increase the integration of evidence-based innovations and interventions into routine, real-world practices and settings.

The Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) unit at UCI aims to help the UCI community in moving from scientific discovery to broader application locally, regionally, and nationally.

Research efforts that identify, understand, and develop strategies for overcoming barriers to adoption, adaptation, integration, scale-up, and sustainability of evidence-based interventions, tools, policies, and guidelines are referred to as dissemination and implementation science.
