Building capacity in dissemination and implementation research: the presence and impact of advice networks.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As dissemination and implementation (D&I) research increases, we must continue to expand training capacity and research networks. Documenting, understanding, and enhancing advice networks identifies key connectors and areas where networks are less established.
