The Center for Dissemination & Implementation features leaders in the field throughout the academic year to offer talks on a variety of relevant topics as part of the Dissemination & Implementation Seminar Series.
Join us on November 10 for Crowdsourcing and its opportunities and challenges within Implementation Science with Dr. Juliet Iwelunmor of Saint Louis University and Dr. Joseph Tucker of UNC School of Medicine.
Participants will learn to:
- Define crowdsourcing in the context of public health research broadly, and implementation science more specifically
- Identify the strengths and weaknesses of crowdsourcing as a tool for developing interventions, creating policies, and engaging communities
- Consider how crowdsourcing can be used in implementation research and identify open access resources towards this end
This event will take place online via Zoom webinar. It is free and open to all. Please register to receive your unique link to attend.
