Resources & Services
ACCORDS D&I offers interactive resources and services are for anyone, wheather you have been doing D&I research for decades or are brand new our resource & services can help implement theory driven D&I practices.
Consultation
ACCORDS D&I Science and CCTSI Dissemination Service
Consultations are available for ACCORDS-affiliated faculty and staff such as School of Medicine, Children’s Hospital, and CCTSI-affiliated faculty, trainees and staff. Consultations are individual or group meetings with a D&I team member to discuss D&I methods and their application to a study. Consultations may include general discussions, education or other assistance.
We partner with the D&I Research Core led by Dr. Bethany Kwan in the Colorado Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CCTSI) at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.
If you know the D&I team member you wish to contact, please still complete the consultation request form. Content area, D&I issue or questions and expertise of one of the above is the clearly best fit. If you are unclear or your request cuts across multiple D&I areas, please contact Dr. Jodi Holtrop, who will be is the primary consultation contact person and she will triage consultation requests to the most appropriate D&I team member.
We ask that you please complete the consultation request form below. This form takes less than 5 minutes to complete and is confidential. Your completed form will go to Dr. Jodi Holtrop, who will contact you within 1 week of submission to coordinate a consultation meeting.
Your consultation experience will be more efficient and productive if you think about and come prepared to share the following with the D&I team member:
- Specific question(s) and requests
- How D&I fits into your overall research proposal or work
- Extent to which your program or question is ‘ready for dissemination'
- How you anticipate evaluating D&I issues
Consultations are one to two meetings with a D&I team member to receive advice, feedback, references, provision of and connection with D&I resources, and linkage to other SOM or content expertise if relevant. Collaboration on grant proposals as a co-investigator may result from a small number of selected projects, based on the time, content area and resources of the D&I member. We do not have the time, resources or staff to be a key part of many proposals or projects requiring ongoing substantial involvement. Some K awards mentorship may be possible.
D&I Science Graduate Certificate Program
D&I Science Graduate Certificate Program
The mission of the Dissemination & Implementation Graduate Certificate Program is to equip our graduates with the D&I research skills needed to design rigorous and innovative translational research, and to successfully compete for federal funding to carry out their proposed work.
We individualize our training to address key D&I competencies and meet each trainee’s unique program goals through three key strategies:
- Maintaining small class sizes
- Using primarily synchronous online classes where faculty and students engage in rich dialogue together
- Recruiting students with diverse professional and cultural backgrounds and a variety of research experiences and goals.

Fillable & Expanded CONSORT Figure PDF
The Expanded CONSORT expands on the Basic CONSORT flow diagram for clinical trials to summarize external validity and contextual factors more concisely and transparently. It adds data about participation and representativeness at the levels of settings and staff, and about intervention sustainability after project support ends. This figure provides a method to address the representativeness, generalizability and sustainability of outcomes research more efficiently. Created by ACCORDS D&I Program Investigators & Collaborators, this file contains an overview, the fillable form, a completed example, a users' guide with row-by-row instruction, FAQ, and supplemental resources.
Dissemination-Implementation.org
Dissemination-Implementation.org was designed to help researchers and practitioners to select the D&I Model that best fits their research question or practice problem, adapt the model to the study or practice context, fully integrate the model into the research or practice process, and find existing measurement instruments for the model constructs. The term ‘Models’ is used to refer to both theories and frameworks that enhance the dissemination and implementation of evidence-based interventions more likely.

The Grid-Enabled Measures Database (GEM) Collaborative
The Grid-Enabled Measures Database (GEM) is a web-based collaborative tool containing behavioral, social science, and other relevant scientific measures. The goal of GEM is "to support and encourage a community of users to drive consensus on best measures and share the resulting data from those measures." Because users can search for and download measures by subject area or keyword, this web resource is a great place for dissemination and implementation experts to access, contribute toward, rate and even add to a database of measures for D&I and other areas. Note: Free user account is now required*
The Society for Implementation Research Collaboration (SIRC)
SIRC is a society that brings together researchers and stakeholders committed to the rigorous evaluation of the implementation of evidence-based psychosocial interventions. SIRC conferences occur biennially. The next conference will be held in Seattle on September 25 & 26, 2015 centered around the theme of “Advancing Efficient Methodologies through Community Partnerships and Team Science.” Resources on the site include event registration, information on past conferences, news, updates, description of initiatives and access to the SIRC "Network of Expertise" (NoE). While the core group of the NoE includes experienced investigators, practitioners, and champions of EBP, the network is welcome to members at all levels.
The Implementation Science Exchange
The Implementation Science Exchange is a free, online source for those interested in resources to help design, acquire funding for, execute and disseminate Implementation Science research projects. The Implementation Science Exchange is a public service of the NC Translational and Clinical Sciences (NC TraCS) Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It is developed and managed by the NC TraCS IS working group, with support from NC TraCS Communications and Web Development team.
CU Family Medicine Evaluation Hub
The Evaluation Hub is a resource available to all members of the Department of Family Medicine (DFM) - that brings together evaluation expertise and resources via one easy access point. The DFM has made available a limited amount of funding to facilitate access to evaluation consultation services at no cost to you. If you are working on a departmental program or project that needs evaluation help, the Hub is here to support you!
The Prevention Science and Methodology Group
The Prevention Science and Methodology Group is a virtual network of more than 600 empirical researchers and methodologists aimed to advance the field of prevention science and support the implementation of evidence-based prevention programs. Virtual Grand Rounds are held frequently and archived for future learning.
Training Institute for Dissemination and Implementation Research in Cancer (TIDIRC) OpenAccess
TIDIRC OpenAccess makes the online training materials used in the TIDIRC Facilitated Course open to the public. The free, online materials provide an overview to dissemination and implementation (D&I) research. Each module serves as an introduction to fundamental terms, concepts, and principles of D&I with examples of their application.
