The goal of the Dissemination & Implementation SIG is for members to discuss ways of promoting acupuncture and TEAM research as widely as possible, as well as suggesting approaches for how to implement those findings in ways that work in different professional settings (hospitals, acupuncture clinics, etc.) so that ultimately, patients benefit. 



Identifying obstacles and challenges would be part of the process, and creatively thinking about how to overcome those challenges. For the majority of acupuncture and TEAM research being done, it is not promoted or utilized widely enough for substantial impact, and therefore the gap between research and practice needs to be bridged in order to reach the community level. We imagine this SIG collaborating with other SIGs for this purpose.
