We strive to promote resources designed to assist with dissemination and implementation (D&I) research. Below, are useful resources from our partners at the University of Pittsburgh. This page will be updated routinely as new resources are released and shared.
☀️ FINAL SUMMER RESOURCE VIBES! Make sure to check out these resources before the season ends.
Planning a Vacation with Getting to Outcomes!
What can implementation science teach us about planning a great summer vacation? Join Joie Acosta, PhD, from RAND for a fun overview of Getting To Outcomes (GTO) and helpful tips for planning an efficient, enjoyable, and resilient summer vacation!
Beachside Chat: Thorny Issues of Running an Implementation Trial
Lessons from Getting To Outcomes Research
Featuring Matt Chinman, PhD & Joie Acosta, PhD
What does it really take to put implementation science into practice?
In this UCLA Beachside Chat, Pitt’s Matt Chinman, PhD and Joie Acosta, PhD share lessons from their experience conducting Getting To Outcomes (GTO) research. Hear their perspectives on navigating the real-world challenges—or “thorny issues”—that can emerge when conducting an implementation trial.
Perfect for researchers, practitioners, and partners interested in turning implementation science into real-world impact.
