Accelerating the Dissemination and Translation of Clinical Research into Practice

May 9
National Institutes of Health
Natcher Conference Center (Building 45)
45 Center Drive
Bethesda, MD 20892

This is the first in a series of workshops to discuss and share best practices and ways in which researchers can partner with community health care providers to translate clinical research into practice. Participants will develop recommendations for academic-community collaborations and partnerships with other community programs to better facilitate translating science into community-based practice. This workshop will help to identify: 1) key enablers of successful academic-community provider partnerships; 2) effective strategies for dissemination, diffusion, and adoption of research; and 3) public and private-sector partners for collaborative translational research.

This workshop is also jointly sponsored with CDC funds that have been distributed to the Association for Prevention, Teaching, and Research.

CME credit will be offered by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Register by April 28, 2008.
