NIH Websites Are Changing

Beginning in late July, NIH will start introducing a new website experience designed to make it easier to find health information, research, funding opportunities, and other resources. During the transition, you may notice changes to navigation, page layouts, and where some information is located. Learn more in our Frequently Asked Questions.

2010 Implementation Science and Global Health Satellite Meeting

Following the Third Annual NIH Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation, the Fogarty International Center and the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research convened a satellite meeting on Implementation Science and Global Health on March 17, 2010 in Bethesda, Maryland. The event brought together Fogarty grantees and trainees working in the field of international implementation science, research training, and curriculum development, and explored strategies to build linkages between implementation science researchers to global healthcare delivery programs.
