We also convened a scientific advisory panel to advise on the overall conference, particularly highlighting the theme of the decade of progress and future directions to come. We organized concurrent sessions across ten tracks, with two track leads managing the call for abstract development, review process and selection of thematic sessions. We also celebrated the fourth year of a partnership between the NIH and AcademyHealth in co-hosting the conference and were assisted by a multidisciplinary program planning committee which informed the plenary session development, recruitment of key speakers and the topics for lunchtime discussions. An additional 391 papers were accepted for poster presentation and these can be viewed at the conference webapp ( ). Contained within this supplement are the abstracts reflecting the concurrent sessions and lunchtime discussions, all representing the variety of dissemination and implementation research supported by our conference sponsors, including the NIH, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), and the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
As evidence of the growth of this research community and its productivity, this tenth iteration of the conference series expanded to a third day of programming, balancing concurrent paper sessions, hundreds of posters and topical discussions with a keynote speaker and four plenary panels, all reflecting on the growth of the field and the journey ahead. In December 2017, we commemorated a decade of that journey with over 1200 researchers, practitioners and policymakers convening in the metro DC area for the 10 th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health.
Beginning the next year, the annual conference expanded into a two-day program, featuring multiple plenary sessions, calls for panel, paper and poster sessions, and expanded networking and opportunities to discuss the challenges in the field.
It was proceeded by a technical assistance workshop where seventy investigators brought concepts for the next set of studies. The conference, attended by several hundred people, was designed to expand interest in a set of NIH funding opportunity announcements that would generate studies to understand and improve upon processes for translating research evidence and transporting evidence-based health interventions into clinical and community practice settings. In September 2007, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) hosted a one-day conference on its campus to spotlight leading researchers in the developing field of dissemination and implementation science.
