Odum Institute: Introduction to Implementation Science

Tue. 18 Jan, 2022 10:00 am - 4:30 pm

This one-day course will be offered via Zoom only. Attendance is required as it will not be recorded.

There is a substantial gap between the development of innovations in medicine, public health, education, and other fields and their delivery in hospitals, communities, and schools. Implementation science is an emerging field that is dedicated to the study of closing this gap by scientifically identifying the factors that facilitate and impede the systematic uptake of knowledge and evidence. It includes the study of how individual, organizational and environmental behavior impact implementation effectiveness, and how to develop and test strategies to change these behaviors. This course will provide an overview of the core theories and methods in implementation research and practice. Students will have opportunities to apply these principles through a case study.

Learning Objectives:
- Define implementation science
- Describe how implementation science connects to allied fields such as quality improvement and design thinking
- Define implementation outcomes are how they are connected to and different from health outcomes
- Describe key implementation models, theories, and frameworks, their application in various settings, and how they can be used to guide implementation efforts
- Identify individual, organizational, and systems-level determinants affecting the quality of implementation
- Understand how to develop effective strategies for sustainable and scalable implementation
- Describe the most common research designs and evaluation approaches in implementation science

DAHS: Sustainable Scholarship and Open Access

Wed. 19 Jan, 2022 12:00 pm - 12:50 pm

The Department of Allied Health Research is hosting a forum on January 19 from 12-12:50 p.m. to discuss the control of and access to intellectual property in the academy.

Event Description:

How can scholarship stay sustainable and viable? How do the concepts of open access fit (or not fit) into that conversation? What does it all mean for research, teaching, and publication? What can be done as library budgets shrink and the number and price of scholarly publications grow? Anne Gilliland, Scholarly Communications Officer at University Libraries, will lead the conversation. Anne’s role is to provide guidance, policy development, and advocacy to faculty, students, and staff on issues such as copyright, authors’ rights, privacy rights, and open access.

Presenter:
