HIV, Infectious Disease and Global Health Implementation Research Institute (HIGH IRI)
Primarily for those doing HIV research in global contexts, this is a two-year program with a week-long convening each year hosted at WashU in St. Louis
Dissemination and Implementation Science Training Institute (DISTI)
A multi-day training institute to provide dissemination and implementation research training, hosted by WashU in St. Louis.
Visiting Scholars in HIV Implementation Science Program
For early or mid-career investigators, this program is for those working in the US, especially those working in Ending the HIV Epidemic jurisdictions to help strengthen academic-community partnerships and advance HIV D&I knowledge.
NIH funding opportunity: Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health
Appropriate for applications that have the potential to advance the field of dissemination and implementation science, this funding mechanisms is supported by multiple NIH institutions that support HIV-related research.
NIH funding opportunity: Ending the HIV Epidemic Notice of Special Interest
Solicits applications specifically in implementation science that can address the goals of EHE. Projects will leverage research-community collaborations and scientific advances in HIV prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cluster and outbreak response to advance the EHE goals.
NIMH funding opportunity: Innovations to Optimize HIV Prevention and Care Continuum Outcomes
The primary funding mechanism through the National Institute of Mental Health to support HIV-related behavioral and social science research, including implementation research. Includes R03 and R21 mechanisms in addition to the R01 mechanism.
Implementation Outcome Instrument Repository
The implementation outcome instrument repository is a free online resource for researchers and healthcare professionals wishing to quantitatively measure implementation outcomes.
Center for Prevention Implementation Methodology for Drug Abuse and HIV Archive
The Center for Prevention Implementation Methodology for Drug Abuse and HIV (PSMG) hosts regular webinars from nationally renowned implementation scientists. On their website, you can watch past presentations on implementation science in HIV and a number of content areas.
The HIV Implementation Science Coordination Initiative
The HIV Implementation Science Coordination Initiative provides high-quality technical assistance for implementation research teams and creates opportunities to share generalizable knowledge to help end the HIV epidemic in the United States.
WashU’s Dissemination and Implementation Science Resource Page
WashU has developed and compiled a number of resources to advance D&I science. The D&I resource page is a centralized place to browse these resources including D&I-specific pilot funding, D&I community events, training opportunities, and news.
ACTG/IMPAACT Specimen Repositories
Specimens that were initially collected for specific studies that have concluded, and are now available to investigators conducting new research. (A collaboration between the ACTG and IMPAACT clinical trial networks).
National NeuroHIV Tissue Consortium (NNTC)
The NNTC provides variety of tissues and samples from HIV positive and negative patients, accompanied by comprehensive histories and clinical data.
Centers for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (CNICS)
CNICS integrates longitudinal clinical data and treatment management of people living with HIV and provides research infrastructure to support HIV-associated clinical, social, and behavioral outcomes and comparative effectiveness research.
Washington University Infectious Diseases Clinical Research Unit (ID-CRU)
WashU’s ID-CRU provides infrastructure to assist investigators with conducting clinical and translational research studies.
Taylor Geospatial Institute Data Services (TGI)
Staffed with a team of geospatial computing engineers and data scientists, the TGI can provide data collection and analytics services across a diverse spectrum of data including drone and satellite based hyperspectral, LiDAR, thermal, SAR, GPR, magnetometry, etc.
D&I Research Toolkits
These toolkits were developed by the Dissemination and Implementation Research Core at WashU and are an ideal starting point for investigators interested in dissemination and implementation science.
D&I Models Webtool
The D&I Models Webtool is an interactive, online resource designed to help researchers and practitioners navigate D&I theories, models, and frameworks (TMFs) through planning, selecting, combining, adapting, using, and linking to measures.
