How to Disseminate Research Findings
Often a neglected afterthought in busy research schedules, the dissemination of key findings is a crucial step in the research process. In doing so, it helps address one of the most frequent concerns about research we have heard from community partners, namely, that the results are often not made available to study participants and others in the local community that could benefit from them.
Creating dissemination plans are a requirement of all affiliated projects. The Community Research (CR) Core provides CIRA scientists and fellows with assistance in disseminating research results to community settings. The CR Core does this in two ways:
- Produces, publishes, and distributes an annual Research Summary, a summary of the major findings of CIRA affiliated research projects in "user-friendly" language.
- Develops the following to assist CIRA scientists as they create dissemination plans for their affiliated projects:
- Brief Overview of Strategies for Disseminating Research Findings (Word | PDF)
- Strategies for Disseminating Research Findings (Word | PDF)
- Disseminating Research Findings: Media Sources (Word | PDF)
If necessary, an individualized meeting can be scheduled with the Assistant Director for the CR Core to further develop the plan.
