A Two-Day Training Hosted by the Global Center for Implementation Science
The field of implementation science is focused on generating knowledge that helps translate evidence about “what works” to improve population health and eliminate health inequities into practice. However, the field has largely focused on work at clinical and organizational levels and there is limited guidance about how to conceptualize and conduct policy-focused implementation science.
There are two areas under the umbrella of policy-focused implementation science: (1) policy dissemination research, which seeks to understand how research evidence can be most effectively communicated to policymakers and integrated into policymaking processes; and (2) policy implementation research, which seeks to understand how the rollout of policies can be optimized to maximize health benefits.
In this two day training, attendees will understand relevant theories and frameworks, study designs, measures, and concepts related to policy implementation science and apply this knowledge to:
1. Develop a policy-focused implementation science grant.
2. Integrate a policy component or aim into a non-policy-focused implementation science grant or project or vice versa.
