Overview
Development of the Guide to Disseminating Research (GuiDiR)
Dissemination is the continuous process of spreading your learning from research to the target audience(s) using planned strategies. The aim of dissemination is to raise awareness of your research and encourage the target audience(s) to act upon the evidence. This means that if and when the evidence proves to be effective, organisations or communities are ready to commit to act upon it. Effective dissemination is therefore key to downstream research utilisation activities such as adoption into policy and implementation into practice.
While dissemination should span the entire lifetime of a research project, existing knowledge translation frameworks generally focus on planning and executing the implementation phase, with brief guidance to support researchers to disseminate. GuiDiR provides detailed instruction on how to plan and execute dissemination across the lifetime of a research project. The framework was developed by dissemination experts, researchers and patient and public representatives.
Read more about the development of GuiDiR in our manuscript here and watch our video below for an overview of the steps in the framework.
This work package is being led by Katherine Murphy, a PPI co-applicant on the CHARMER research programme. PPI members Sujata Walkerley and Jennie Griffiths are also key contributors of the dissemination working group, advising on the development and refinement of GuiDiR and CHARMER’s overall dissemination activities.
