Planning and Implementation for Translation:
Theoretical, practical, partnership and research design issues in developing programs for successful implementation, dissemination, and sustainability.

Evaluation of Generalizability and Impact:
Frameworks and tools to evaluate programs to answer questions that decision makers have, and to assess external validity, robustness, and potential for (or level of) large-scale dissemination.

Health Disparities:
Theoretical and practical issues to enhance the number of individuals reached, identification of cost-effective methods for reducing health disparities, and most broadly applicable methods in diverse settings.

Health Literacy and Numeracy:
Incorporate health literacy improvement in mission, planning, and evaluation. Conduct formative, process, and outcome evaluation to assess materials, messages, modes of communication, and resources.

Communication Media, Messages and Campaigns:
Formative evaluation to improve efforts prior to introduction, process evaluation for documentation and mid-course corrections, and summative evaluation to assess the effects of communication interventions for health behavior change.

Planning for the Broad-Based Diffusion of Evidence-Based Practices & Programs:
Diffusion literature-based tools including sociometric mapping and attribute-based perception guides for increasing the likelihood of positive adoption decisions and the acceleration of innovations into practice.

Economic Analyses:
Practical approaches to capturing costs, considering options for scalability, calculation of recruitment costs, cost-effectiveness analyses, and cost-outcome simulation modeling.

Literature and Program Reviews:
Application of translation research methods and conceptual approaches to conducting systematic reviews and reviews for organizations on applied questions.
