Dissemination & Implementation Affinity Network (D&I AN)

The Dissemination and Implementation Network is open to any ASU clinical or research faculty, staff, post-doctoral scholar or student. The D&I network will develop and implement D&I projects, advance D&I methods through new applications and strategies and build D&I principles into the educational foundation of CHS. Members will:

• Generate and operate a core set of projects that are interdisciplinary and involve community partners.

• Provide a network of support for researchers across disciplines with projects that have elements of D&I outcomes.

• Speed the impact that CHS can have on health outcomes through advancing evidence-based interventions for population health impact.

The network’s most immediate task is to build capacity to conduct D&I research through training of a core of faculty, staff, post-doctoral scholars and students. This will lead to increased success in obtaining funding to conduct D&I research with community partners, attract student participation, and allow CHS to implement a nationally derived curriculum tailored to ASU and community partner needs.
