1. 1
Replication and Dissemination
IESD New Awards Event

2. 2
What do we mean by ‘Replication’?
• Replication means taking something that has already
been successfully delivered and expanding it so that
more health & care outcomes benefits are being
delivered to more people, in more of the country;

3. 3
Different forms of replication
• Many forms depending on organisational control of the
replication:
- Low control – Uncontrolled diffusion of ideas;
- Medium control – Promotion through formal networks,
licencing or diffusion by a parent organisation;
- High control – Organisational growth/ takeovers/
mergers

4. 4
What does ‘Replication’ mean for IESD
• The Excellence funding strand is specifically tailored to
facilitate replication.
• These are projects that have already been evaluated
and have a sound evidence base that demonstrates
proof of concept.
• For other strands we expect to see Replication and
Dissemination as a key element of the project with
more than a low level of control by the organisation
leading it.

5. 5
Challenges to Replication
• Challenge of scaling up – Different cost structures at
large scale/ Partnerships with other organisations at
local or national level;
• Challenge of revenue – Marketing and selling the idea/
No one is willing to pay/ no sustainable income source/
reliant on one off grants;
• Challenge of leadership – Founders of an idea might
not have the skills to grow it/ allowing others to use your
idea;
• Challenge of evaluation – Knowledge of how to
evaluation not available in small organisations/
independent vs internal.

6. 6

8. 8
What does ‘Dissemination’ means in terms of
IESD?
• Dissemination applies to all IESD Funding Strands.
We want proposals to PUBLICISE & SHARE the
learning, best practise, models and frameworks
produced with as many relevant organisations and
other bodies as possible

9. 9
Why is Dissemination important?
• Dissemination is important as it will help you
showcase the success, experience and lessons
learned from your proposal, from which other
organisations in the health & care system will benefit.
• Dissemination could also benefit YOUR organisation.
Sharing the outcomes and outputs from a successful
proposal could increase the profile of your
organisation

10. 10
What are we looking for from the proposal in
terms of Dissemination?
For all proposals we want to see:
1. Details of WHAT learning, best practise, guidance,
models or frameworks for delivery of health & care
services will be shared,
2. Details of WHEN this would be done,
3. Details of WHO the dissemination will be shared with,
4. Details of HOW you will be disseminating,
5. A PLAN for all the above

11. 11
Planning the Dissemination
• We would expect all organisations in receipt of an IESD
award to either have a dissemination plan or strategy in
place as part of the project, or to be developing one
during the lifecycle of the project.
