Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) Catalyst

What is this service?

The MICHR Dissemination & Implementation (D&I) Catalyst Implementation Science Network (ISN) connects researchers to promote more innovative dissemination and implementation research to ultimately close the gap between science and practice, and improve care in our health systems and communities.

SPARK – LEVERAGE TALENT

We offer assistance for investigators pursuing implementation science learning opportunities including learning collaboratives, conferences, course offerings, and examples of career plans, frameworks, measures for K and R grants, and examples of U-M implementation studies.

SEED – PROMOTE IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE INITIATIVES

We promote novel and competitive implementation science-driven initiatives by providing funding opportunities, toolkits on D&I methods, and hosting forums to share and foster ideas about implementation science.

SPREAD – BUILD IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE CAPACITY

Our efforts to build implementation science capacity in health systems and communities include:

·     MICHR Community Research Studios

·     U-M BCBS Clinical Quality Collaboratives

·     Multimodal D&I Curricula

·     M-M Statewide expansion

Who can use this service?

This service may be used by any U-M investigator, faculty member, staff member, or students interested in D&I science (including knowledge translation, improvement science, etc.) mentoring opportunities, methods, training, and funding mechanisms.
