# Core 2: Dissemination & Implementation Core

## Abstract

Core Summary/Abstract
A large gap remains between building evidence supporting innovative tobacco control approaches through
research and application of findings in communities. A primary issue is making the evidence accessible to
practitioners. Dissemination and implementation (D&I) research is dedicated to the translation and use of
evidence in practice and can help address this issue. The purpose of the shared resource D&I Core is to
enhance the utility and accessibility of the research in ASPiRE (Advancing Science and Practice in the Retail
Environment) by integrating the principles of D&I Science across its research projects. Two interrelated aims
comprise elevating the role of D&I in the ASPiRE Center and ensuring timely translation and targeted
dissemination of data and findings. First, the Core will build capacity for D&I Science through consultation with
representatives from each project to facilitate, design, and implement dissemination plans that identify key
points for engagement of stakeholders. The Core will also help project staff construct systematic and
achievable timelines for dissemination. Second, the D&I Core will work with each of the projects and the Data
& Statistics Core to synthesize and translate findings into various types of products appropriately tailored to
specific audiences of researchers, public health practitioners, and others. Products will include articles, case
studies, conference presentations and webinars, dashboards, data visualizations, fact sheets, social media
content, or other materials. As part of this aim, the D&I Core will also collaborate with the Administrative Core
to set the agenda and maximize the impact for annual Next Steps meetings with the Community Advisory
Board designed to engage and connect scientists, legal experts, and tobacco control programs with the work of
the Center. This purposeful attention to active dissemination of the Center’s scientific and translational
products will enhance the return on the scientific investment and support evidence-informed tobacco control
nationally.
