Few researchers receive formal training in research translation and dissemination or policy engagement. We created Amplify@LDI, a training program for health services and health policy researchers, to equip them with skills to increase the visibility of their research through translation and dissemination activities.
To describe the program's participants and curriculum, and evaluate the first 2 years of the program.
The Leonard Davis Institute (LDI) at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn).
An annual cohort of 12 LDI Senior Fellows (Penn faculty) from multiple schools, disciplines, and ranks at Penn.
The Amplify@LDI curriculum includes 6 sessions on different aspects of research translation and dissemination, including media and social engagement, writing Op-Eds, and policy engagement.
Participants reported measurable increases in time spent on translation and dissemination activities, as well as new enthusiasm for and confidence in policy engagement. Participants' reach (as measured by Altmetric) increased during the program, compared to smaller increases or reductions in reach for two comparator groups.
In our preliminary evaluation of Amplify@LDI, we find strong evidence of positive impact from participant evaluations, and suggestive evidence that participation in the program is associated with significant increases in the reach of their research.
很少有研究人员接受过研究翻译、传播或政策参与方面的正规培训。我们创建了 Amplify@LDI，这是一个针对卫生服务和卫生政策研究人员的培训计划，旨在通过翻译和传播活动，为他们提供提高研究知名度的技能。
描述该计划的参与者和课程，并评估该计划的前 2 年。
宾夕法尼亚大学（宾夕法尼亚州）的伦纳德戴维斯研究所（LDI）。
来自宾夕法尼亚大学多个学院、学科和职等的 12 名 LDI 高级研究员（宾夕法尼亚大学的教师）组成的年度队列。
Amplify@LDI 的课程包括 6 个关于研究翻译和传播不同方面的课程，包括媒体和社会参与、撰写社论以及政策参与。
参与者报告称，他们在翻译和传播活动上花费的时间有所增加，并且对政策参与的热情和信心也有所提高。与两个对照组相比，参与者的研究成果的传播范围（通过 Altmetric 衡量）在该计划期间有所增加，而对照组的传播范围则有所增加或减少。
在对 Amplify@LDI 的初步评估中，我们从参与者的评估中发现了强有力的证据，证明该计划产生了积极影响，并有迹象表明，参与该计划与他们的研究成果的传播范围显著增加有关。
