Objectives
Upon completing the 3-day Developing Behavioral Interventions program, participants will be able to:
- Understand the continuum of intervention research from discovery and efficacy to implementation and sustainability
- Identify delivery characteristics to advance an intervention protocol with implementation potential

- Advance a trial design including measurement, control groups, fidelity, and economic models
- Understand principles of grant writing to propose an intervention
The 2-day Advancing Your Intervention aims to:
- Enhance grant writing skills for behavioral intervention research
- Identify strategies to facilitate dissemination and sustainability efforts for your intervention
- Develop in depth understanding of implementation theories for framing your intervention
- Learn novel, methodological approaches for intervention design and implementation
- Examine economic models and how to evaluate the cost of your intervention
