Dissemination planning can expand your thinking about what you share, how you share it, and who you share it with. Strategic dissemination of research findings has numerous benefits to researchers and all those impacted by their research:
Increased visibility: Ensures that research findings reach a wider audience, enhancing the visibility and impact of the work
Enhanced Collaboration: Facilitates collaboration with other researchers, stakeholders, and institutions by sharing findings and methodologies
Informed Decision-Making: Provides policymakers and practitioners with evidence-based information to make informed decisions
Public Awareness: Raises public awareness about important issues and findings, potentially influencing public opinion and behavior
Funding Opportunities: Demonstrates the value and impact of research to potential funders, increasing the likelihood of securing future funding
Compliance and Accountability: Meets the requirements of funding bodies that require dissemination plans
