Building expert capital through education and training
The C-DIAS Educational Programs aim to prepare the addiction research and practice community to conduct the highest quality and most innovative implementation research possible.
Based on need, C-DIAS offers a stratified range of educational opportunities with four general researcher or practitioner profiles in mind:
- Health systems leaders, practitioners, and early or mid-career researchers seeking a structured experience to become a leader in implementation science in addiction treatment research or improvement
- NIH K applicants desiring to build and execute implementation science aims in their research plans
- Addiction researchers who want to increase the translational impact of their research by making it more implementation science
- Anyone interested in current or late-breaking findings or approaches in implementation science in addiction treatment research
C-DIAS Individual and Small Group Mentoring
C-DIAS Individual and Small Group Mentoring will be organized by the Center Director and is focused on an addiction implementation science research program or professional development. There will be a limited number of meetings with a C-DIAS expert faculty member or members focused on specific activities, such as developing/preparing K awards or a health system transformation project, qualitative components in hybrid trials, or professional development.
C-DIAS Expert Faculty Consultation
C-DIAS Expert Faculty Consultation on implementation science in addiction treatment are individual meetings with a C-DIAS Faculty to provide guidance, at no cost, on topics such as but not limited to addiction implementation science focused grant proposal or project preparation/development; study design; selecting and integrating conceptual implementation science models and frameworks; partner and stakeholder engagement; selection and evaluation of implementation strategies; implementation methods; measures and outcomes; costing; professional development; and manuscript preparation.
C-DIAS Virtual Grand Rounds
C-DIAS Virtual Grand Rounds is a weekly presentation by a C-DIAS faculty, C-DIAS fellows, or affiliate. In partnership with the PSMG Virtual Grand Rounds, presentations will focus on current research in implementation scienece in addiction or cutting-edge implementation science methods applicable to addiction. The presentations and chat will be archived on the C-DIAS website. The grand rounds will be eligible for CME/CE credits, details to follow. Recommendations for speakers are welcomed. They can be submitted using the Contact Us form below.
