Interactive resources | |
Consultation or technical assistance | Technical assistance (TA) is the process of providing targeted support to an organization with a development need or problem. TA may be delivered in many different ways, such as one-on-one consultation, small group facilitation, or through a web-based clearinghouse. The help given should enhance the users’ knowledge or ability to carry out dissemination & implementation (D & I) science or practice. It is in depth and focused on a particular issue unlike mentorship, which focuses on a person. |
Mentorship | The resource initiative organizes an ongoing relationship for the individual seeking support and a content expert to realize individualized goals. |
Workshops | Workshops are typically one-time trainings in a particular content or a resource offered by a resource initiative either in-person or virtually. The workshop must involve interaction between the participants and/or the instructors. |
Workgroups | The resource initiative organizes a group of individuals who share interest in a particular content, mission, or resource development process (typically they set workgroup goals) to facilitate live interaction and development of a project. |
Networking | The resource initiative creates a virtual or physical time and space for individuals with shared interests to discuss their synergy. |
Conference | The organization arranges a large-scale meeting on a regularly-occurring basis to bring together members, professionals in the field, stakeholders, and other interested individuals to present new information and study findings with the goal of advancing the field. |
Social media | The resource initiative has links to its self-maintained social media profiles (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn). |
Non-interactive resources | |
D & I resource library | The resource initiative has gathered at least 10 established resources (e.g., instrument/measures, white papers, fact sheets, journal articles, tools, information about methods) that researchers and stakeholders may access for information and/or use. List of resources must be more though or comprehensive than simply a link. |
News and updates from the field | The resource initiative purposefully reports on or distributes current, updated, and relevant information from the field such as publications, job ads, research findings, etc. in the form of a listserv, newsletter, blog, and/or hard copy mailings. |
D & I archived talks/slides | The resource initiative provides access to D & I videos, talks, slides. This includes webinars. |
D & I link page on website | The resource initiative offers a link page with information related to external resources and opportunities, notably substantive summaries of training opportunities, exhaustive listing of conferences, etc. |
Grant writing resources | The resource initiative offers resources related to writing grants, with the goal of providing guidance (e.g., annotated program announcements, offering examples of funded grants, highlighting funding agencies, etc.) |
Funding opportunities | Funding opportunities (e.g., scholarships and grants) for individuals or groups are available through the organization, usually in the way of supporting research endeavors. |
Resource initiative characteristics | |
Stakeholder involvement | Anyone affected by implementation, but not a scientist, informed, shaped, produced, or contributed to the resources. |
Healthcare domain | The mission or relevance of activities is focused on D & I for EBPs for physical health or behavioral health. |
Membership | This variable indicates whether the resource initiative has a membership option. |
