Implementation Science for Innovation and Discovery

The CTSI Academy presents a new education series on Implementation Science (IS). This new education series will offer a monthly presentation for faculty, staff and students to facilitate development, application, and uptake of innovation in research and scholarly activities using implementation science (IS). The curriculum will use a mix of case-based, journal club-format and more theoretical presentations.

The goal of the series to create a local IS learning community and develop a core group of institutional IS experts. Participants will be able to build their IS expertise to scale up innovation and discovery in real-world practice.

Sessions will generally be offered every fourth Wednesday of the month (except December). Attendees can attend the presentations virtually or in-person.
