Identifying strategies to promote team science in dissemination and implementation research

“…While there are challenges associated with co-production in science teams (e.g., disagreements, professional costs), 28 research has described the richness and complexity of collaborative processes while also identifying multiple benefits that outweigh the challenges. 29 The requisite for teams to produce translatable outcomes, coupled with increased calls for the use of team science in D&I settings, [30][31][32][33] creates a need for evidence-based strategies for facilitating successful D&I collaborations and synergistic transdisciplinary teams. 34 Rich findings from research on team functioning suggest strategies for creating effective cross-disciplinary science teams.…”

“…Science of team science research has begun to uncover team processes that lead to effective team science, such as learning from other members and communicating face-to-face. 34 Yet amidst calls for the greater use and study of team science in D&I contexts, [30][31][32][33]43 no studies have investigated strategies that facilitate success in D&I science teams. 44 The aims of D&I science teams, which may include implementing evidencebased practices with fidelity, 45 sustaining these practices in community settings, 22,46 or engaging public stakeholders in the research process, 47 introduce unique challenges not faced by cross-disciplinary teams that operate solely within academia.…”

Provider Readiness and Adaptations of Competency Drivers During Scale-Up of the Family Check-Up

“…For example, studies suggest experience influences uptake; however, studies are mixed regarding whether more or less experience is associated with improved uptake (Beidas et al, 2013;Skriner et al, 2017). Our own research suggests that "less veteran" providers trained in relatively few other EBIs are more likely to adopt the FCU (Lewis et al, 2016). One of the most studied provider characteristics is attitudes towards EBIs.…”

“…During a provider orientation in the preparation phase, potential FCU providers learn about personal and professional capacities of effective FCU providers based on the PRA to encourage selfassessment of their readiness for training and implementation. Administrators are encouraged to allow providers to opt out of training because top-down administrative mandates requiring their participation are an implementation barrier (Lewis et al, 2016).…”

A content analysis of dissemination and implementation science resource initiatives: what types of resources do they offer to advance the field?

“…Even without such clarity, however, resource initiatives may still benefit from considering how their own resources and characteristics align with the tenets and incorporating them into strategic planning. For instance, the Society for Implementation Research Collaboration underwent a self-study with this exact purpose and determined the theme of their 2015 conference to fill a perceived gap in targeted efforts at advancing efficiency and speed [ 36 ].…”
