 * Definition 2:** The detailed list of questions in Should you sow what you know? was intended to help organizations think through the process of what we then coined Applied Dissemination. These words were deliberately chosen. We knew that dissemination in and of itself was an important, but not sufficient ingredient for the spread of new ideas. To take root, they need to be accompanied by information on how to apply or adapt the experiences of others in different settings.
