Beginning the next year, the annual conference expanded into a two-day program, featuring multiple plenary sessions, calls for panel, paper and poster sessions, and expanded networking and opportunities to discuss the challenges in the field. It was proceeded by a technical assistance workshop where seventy investigators brought concepts for the next set of studies.

The conference, attended by several hundred people, was designed to expand interest in a set of NIH funding opportunity announcements that would generate studies to understand and improve upon processes for translating research evidence and transporting evidence-based health interventions into clinical and community practice settings.

In September 2007, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) hosted a one-day conference on its campus to spotlight leading researchers in the developing field of dissemination and implementation science. 1 National Cancer Institute, Rockville, MD, USA 2 AcademyHealth, Washington, DC, USA
