Summary
This workshop is sponsored by the Family Policy section and will be hosted by NCFR journal editors. This session is intended to help participants conceptualize and plan a means for eliciting the translational (policy and practice) significance of their work and develop a plan for disseminating their work to a larger audience. In addition to appraising the translational significance of their work, participants will: (a) generate and refine a list of potential outlets for presenting and publishing studies; (b) craft discussion sections and related material that emphasizes the practical and policy significance of their work; (c) position translational studies for publication; and (d) consider dissemination strategies that assist in realizing translational promise and advancing author reputation. Participants are encouraged to bring one-page descriptions of one or two studies they have in progress or completed.
