The 14th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health, co-hosted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and AcademyHealth, will be hosted December 14-16, 2021. This year’s conference theme – Broadening Horizons for Impact: Incorporating Multisectoral Approaches into D&I Science – highlights the importance of incorporating within studies, attention to the diverse contexts and stakeholders, not only within health and health care, but across sectors which have implications on health.
IS-2 Scholars and Faculty are featured during several of the plenaries, breakout, and poster sessions. For more information about registration and session details, visit academyhealth.org.
