"Implementation Research (IR)-related communications and advocacy range from productive dialogue and engagement throughout research planning and implementation, through to translation and sharing of results through broad-based advocacy or awareness-raising materials, and ultimately to the uptake and integration of research conclusions into local, national or international policies and practices. This broad scope highlights how communications and advocacy take place at all stages of an IR project and comprise many kinds of specific communication approaches, including thought leadership, data visualization, mentoring, facilitation of proposal development and social media messaging, as well as and specific information products such as research reporting guidelines, peer-reviewed papers, press releases, web sites, meeting/conference presentations and policy briefs."
