In the context of the grants programme, dissemination is ‘the planned process of understanding potential adopters and engaging with them throughout the life of the project, to facilitate commitment to sustained change’. It is a key means by which project impact is achieved. Dissemination activities are ‘The individual actions by which aspects of the project are disseminated to others, for awareness, knowledge, and action’ (Hinton et al. 2011, p. 6).
