Our mini-grants, training and TA efforts fall into this area of the K2A Framework: Translation Supporting Structures and process evaluation of a dissemination strategy for EBIs into community practice.
It is a logical next step to expand opportunities for training, technical assistance and financial support to promote the translation of research into practice (Kerner, et al., 2005a). A push-pull-infrastructure model proposed by Orleans, Gruman and Anderson (2002) contends that while pushing scientific knowledge into practice, there must also be a simultaneous increased demand for evidence-based approaches and an increased infrastructure capacity to deliver those interventions (Orleans, et al., 2002). In this model, the number of providers delivering the evidence-based interventions and the number of people in the population receiving them should increase, which in theory should result in improved outcomes. A mini-grant funding model accompanied by technical assistance is an example of using this push-pull-infrastructure model. It creates demand in the community to implement such programs while building capacity through technical assistance. Orleans, C., Gruman, J., & Anderson, N. (2002). Designing for Dissemination: The Larger Challenge of Translation: An Extraordinary Opportunity for Cancer Control. Paper presented at the Designing for Dissemination Collaborative Meeting, Washington, D.C.
Organizational functioning includes organization function, staffing, leadership, problem-solving, communication and decision-making, role clarity, shared vision, formalization, risk-taking, centralization, external relationships, and human capacity (Levinger and Bloom, 2000 ; Weiss et al., 2002; Preskill and Tores, 1998; Caplan, 1971; Kenny and Sofaer, 2000; Schminke et al, 2002)
Nine participants (45%) held supervisory or managerial roles and six (30%) considered themselves “front line staff.” Fifteen (75%) had a bachelors or graduate level degree. The average time employed at their current organization was about 9 years. Six (33.3%) reported prior experience implementing EBPs. Almost all (18) reported that someone from their organization advocated for the use of an EBP for the currently funded mini-grant.
