Center for Advancing Dissemination and Implementation Science

About Us

Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) Science bridges the research-to-practice gap by engaging community and clinical partners to incorporate a focus on how evidence-based information, programs, and policies (collectively referred to as “interventions”) get integrated into routine public health and healthcare services and shared broadly to achieve population health impact (PAR-25-144).

This science can advance population health by emphasizing multilevel approaches and intersectoral collaborations to promote the uptake and sustainability of interventions within resource-limited settings and for medically underserved populations. Aligned with the growing recognition of the importance of D&I, the Center for Advancing Dissemination and Implementation Science leads capacity-building activities for research, training, and partnerships across the University of New Mexico (UNM) and beyond.

Vision

Be a regional, national, and global leader in advancing the science of dissemination and implementation.

Mission

To provide training and resources to clinicians, researchers, staff, and community partners, to improve their knowledge and skills around D&I science.
To offer consultations, mentorship, and funding support for clinicians, researchers, staff, and community partners to increase the number of research proposals and grants that incorporate D&I science at UNM.
To engage and build capacity for promoting and increasing research partnerships among clinicians, researchers, staff, and community partners, for D&I science at UNM and beyond.
