143rd APHA Annual Meeting & Exposition
Additional Information:
https://www.apha.org/events-and-meetings/annual/about-the-annual-meeting
Description:
2015 Annual Meeting Theme: Health in All Policies
The environments in which people live, work, learn and play have a tremendous impact on their health. Responsibility for the social determinants of health falls to many nontraditional health partners, such as housing, transportation, education, air quality, parks, criminal justice, energy, and employment agencies. Public health agencies and organizations will need to work with those who are best positioned to create policies (legal and regulatory) and practices that promote healthy communities and environments and secure the many co-benefits that can be attained through healthy public policy.

Additional Information:
http://ce.unthsc.edu/live/1130
Description:
Date: June 11-12
This conference will feature nationally recognized speakers, community leaders, and interactive debates highlighting the advances in the field of obesity and progress on eliminating health disparities. Educational and interactive presentations, panel discussions and questions/answer sessions will identify the challenges and assist conference attendees in defining and developing a prospectus for the future. The conference will also highlight the ongoing research programs and efforts including community engagement programs that are aimed to understand the underlying causes of such disparities and devising innovative strategies to ultimately eliminate them.

37th Annual North American Meeting
Additional Information:
http://smdm.org/meeting/37th-annual-north-american-meeting
Description:
Theme: Implementation
Meeting Dates: Saturday, October 17 - Pre-Meeting Symposium (tentative)
Sunday, October 18 - Short Courses
Monday, October 19 - Wednesday, October 21 - Annual Meeting
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) define Implementation Science as, “the study of methods to promote the integration of research findings and evidence into healthcare policy and practice.” SMDM is uniquely positioned to bring experts from a broad range of health science disciplines together to explore implementation and exchange ideas on how to improve the translation of research findings into better bedside care and health care utilization.
The combination of short-courses, symposia and research presentations continues to foster lively debates and deeper understandings of how our scientific research can be applied to improve care. Whether through decision modeling approaches, bedside studies of patient preferences, or exploration of decision psychology, SMDM can bring innovative and disruptive changes to healthcare.
This meeting intends to help talented researchers, clinicians, and trainees communicate their findings to a broader audience. Meeting attendees will enjoy opportunities to interact with leaders in implementation, communication and the other areas encompassed by medical decision making. Attendees will be exposed to new ideas, hear from thought leaders and will be able to share their own insights with a receptive audience.
The spirit of the Show Me state is the spirit of implementation. Implementation is ultimately how we show others how our work can be applied in practice. This meeting will be a gateway to new frontiers in healthcare science.

Webinar: Becoming Evidence-Based: A Step-by-Step Approach
Additional Information:
http://bit.ly/1zSLv6c
Description:
Do you believe your program is effective? What does it take to get on an “effective program list”? In this webinar, we will discuss the process of becoming evidence-based, with a focus on child and youth-serving organizations. What steps must your program go through to reach the point at which independent evaluations can be done to assess whether the program works? How do you make sure it can produce sustainable results over time?
Experts from Child Trends – Kristin Moore, Martha Beltz, and Vanessa Sacks – will explain the process, and Dominique Bernardo will illustrate with real-life examples from Congreso de Latinos Unidos. The panel will walk through assessing needs and selecting or developing an appropriate intervention, program implementation and ongoing performance management, and external evaluations. We will address questions like:

We will address questions like:
- What are the steps in the process of becoming evidence-based?
- What are appropriate and realistic outcomes for child and youth-serving agencies?
- What is the role of ongoing performance management in program implementation?
- When is the right time to bring in external evaluators for an independent study?

APPLICATION: 2015 Training Institute for Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health
Additional Information:
https://www.regonline.com/Register/Checkin.aspx?EventID=1690463
Description:
This training is designed for investigators at any career stage interested in conducting D&I research. To be eligible, participants must NOT have current R18, R01 or R01-equivalent funding as a principal investigator for D&I research or received such funding in the in the past five years. Note: investigators who have received an R01 or equivalent are eligible, as long as the funding was not specifically for D&I research. Preference will be given to applicants who demonstrate experience with, or potential for, working effectively in transdisciplinary teams and who have strong partnerships with—or are embedded within—healthcare delivery, public health or community-based networks. We seek a balance of both junior and senior investigators, with the overall goal of bringing new people into the field of D&I research. While we anticipate most participants will be early to mid-career individuals, we will enroll a limited number of senior researchers who are making the switch to D&I research.
In addition, to be eligible, participants must meet ALL of the following criteria:
