“…NCATS has recognized the importance of D&I science to advancing translational research (NCATS FOA) [30]. There is a growing consideration of the synergies between translational research and D&I [28] and opportunities to leverage CTSA infrastructure to advance D&I research and practice [11,31]. In 2016, the CTSA Collaboration and Engagement Domain Task Force created a Dissemination, Implementation, and Knowledge Transfer (DI&KT) Workgroup to examine the potential role of D&I sciences across the translational research continuum [28].…”

Introduction: Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program hubs are well-positioned to advance dissemination and implementation (D&I) research and training capacity nationally, though little is known about what D&I research support and services CTSAs provide. To address this gap, the CTSA Dissemination, Implementation, and Knowledge Transfer Working Group conducted an environmental scan of CTSAs (2017–2018). Methods: Of 67 CTSA institutions, we contacted 43 that previously reported delivering D&I research services. D&I experts from these institutions were emailed a survey assessing D&I resources, services, training, and scientific projects. Responses were categorized and double-coded by study authors using a content analysis approach. Results: Thirty-five of the 43 D&I experts (81.4%) responded. Challenges to CTSAs in developing and supporting D&I science activities were related to inadequate D&I science workforce (45.7%) and lack of understanding of D&I science (25.7%). Services provided included consultation/mentoring programs (68%), pilot funding/grants (50%), and workshops/seminars/conferences (46%). Training and workforce development in D&I were frequently identified as future priorities. Recommendations included increase training to meet demand (68.6%), accessible D&I tools/resources (34.3%), greater visibility/awareness of D&I methods (34.3%), consultation services (22.9%), and expand D&I science workforce (22.9%). Conclusions: CTSAs have tremendous potential to support the advancement and impact of D&I science across the translational continuum. Despite the growing presence of D&I science in CTSAs, continued commitment and prioritization are needed from CTSA and institutional leadership to raise awareness of D&I science and its value, meet training demands, and develop necessary infrastructure for conducting D&I science.

“…Developmental science typically focuses on the individual or family, emphasizing in-depth assessments. In contrast, implementation science employs methods to promote systematic uptake, integration, and sustainment of research into real-world delivery systems implementing a policy, practice, tool, or intervention ( 2 , 7 ). Although implementation science has typically focused on healthcare, it is relevant across multi-sectorial developmental contexts (e.g., childcare, and educational settings) ( 8 , 9 ).…”

Translation of developmental science discoveries is impeded by numerous barriers at different stages of the research-to-practice pipeline. Actualization of the vast potential of the developmental sciences to improve children's health and development in the real world is imperative but has not yet been fully realized. In this commentary, we argue that an integrated developmental-implementation sciences framework will result in a translational mindset essential for accelerating real world impact. We delineate key principles and methods of implementation science of salience to the developmental science audience, lay out a potential synthesis between implementation and developmental sciences, provide an illustration of the Mental Health, Earlier Partnership (MHE-P), and set actionable steps for realization. Blending these approaches along with wide-spread adoption of the translational mindset has transformative potential for population-level impact of developmental science discovery.

“…Leveraging the expertise of the NCATS Advancing Dissemination & Implementation Working Group, 1 JCTS published a Special Issue with a compendium of articles reflecting the current collective wisdom of D&I thought leaders. Many of the articles were included in the JCTS themed issue on D&I sciences [1].…”
