Implementation Science and Health Equity: An NIDDK Workshop

Event Details

Purpose

To explore how NIDDK-interested researchers can use implementation science to ensure NIDDK’s evidence-based and promising interventions reach 1) diverse populations at highest risk and/or with disparate rates for NIDDK diseases/conditions and 2) diverse practice settings (e.g., clinics, schools, places of worship, workplace, social services agencies, and other community organizations).

Meeting Objectives

1. To bring together chronic disease-relevant scientists, implementation scientists from across scientific disciplines, and community and patient partners to discuss how implementation science can be used to advance health equity for NIDDK diseases/conditions
2. To identify research opportunities and gap areas to promote equitable implementation of evidence-based and promising interventions for NIDDK diseases/conditions for diverse populations and settings
3. To identify training resources, research tools, capacity building needs, and opportunities for networking and collaboration to better plan, and conduct rigorous implementation science studies to advance health equity for NIDDK diseases/conditions

Abstracts

Submission Deadline

June 7, 2024

Abstract Submission Instructions

Abstracts for oral or poster presentations are encouraged to present dissemination and implementation research studies that promote equitable implementation of evidence-based and promising interventions for NIDDK diseases/conditions for diverse populations and settings.   Abstracts from trainees and early-stage investigators are particularly encouraged. 

Submitting Abstracts

All abstracts must be submitted via email to Danielle Johnikin, with “Health Equity Workshop” in the subject line. The abstract submission should be a one-page Microsoft Word document that does not exceed 250 words (not including the abstract’s title, name and affiliation of all authors, and one table or figure).

Presenters are welcome to submit abstracts previously presented in other venues, including work that has been delivered at other conferences or published within the past 2 years. If the work has been published, please include a full citation and a link to the paper.

Abstract Organization

Organize the body of the abstract as follows:

• Purpose—Concisely state the objective of the study.
• Methods—Describe the methods, which may include study design, setting, participants, measures, and analytic approach.
• Results—Summarize the main findings in sufficient detail to support the conclusion.
• Conclusions—Briefly state the conclusions and implications.

The abstract’s word count is limited to no more than 250 words.
