Our Objective

Our objective is: To connect interdisciplinary D&I scientists and trainees to develop D&I collaborative research, education, infrastructure, and capacity.

Our membership includes trainees, early-career, and later stage professionals from various organizations in Pittsburgh who are in the process of learning about this quickly developing field. Meetings are held throughout the year to share projects and opportunities, develop ideas, and learn about dissemination and implementation science from expert speakers. We welcome anyone interested in or currently working in this field to join us by reviewing upcoming events on the News page and reaching out to our Co-Directors.
