IMPACT Grand Rounds: Implementation Outcomes: Their Role in Treatment Success
2020-11-19 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | https://hebrewseniorlife.zoom.us/j/97344810673
Enola Proctor, PhD, Shanti K. Khinduka distinguished professor emeritus at Washington University in St. Louis will present on “Implementation Outcomes: Their Role in Treatment Success.”
Dr. Proctor’s research is motivated by the question, how do we ensure that people receive the very best possible care? She has studied this question in a variety of social work, public health, and health care settings, ranging from hospitals to community agencies. She has contributed to the intellectual capital for the rapidly growing field of dissemination and implementation science, leading teams to distinguish, clearly define, develop taxonomies, and stimulate more systematic work to advance the conceptual, linguistic, and methodological clarity in the field. Her research has been funded by the NIA, and AHRQ, and by the NIMH for 26 consecutive years. She directs the Implementation Research Institute, a training program in implementation science funded by the National Institute for Mental Health. She led the establishment of several university-wide centers and cores in implementation science, including the Center for Dissemination and Implementation for the Washington University Institute for Public Health and the Dissemination and Implementation Research Core for Washington University’s CTSA program. Her awards include Washington University’s Arthur Compton Holly Distinguished Faculty Award, the Society for Social Work and Research’s Distinguished Research Award, and the American Public Health Association Stephen M. Banks Award for Outstanding Mentoring in mental health services.

Fall Institute on Implementation Science Research, Bringing Evidence to Real-World Settings to Promote Health Equity
2020-10-26 - 2020-10-28
This meeting and grant writing workshop will be hosted by IMPACT’s Laura Gitlin, PhD, and the Drexel University College of Nursing and Health Professions. The virtual conference is designed to provide a foundation in implementation science and the conduct of studies that result in high impact in real-world settings. Through readings, lectures by leading experts and interactive small group sessions, participants will gain information on how to design studies to evaluate implementation processes and prepare for dissemination and scaling of evidence into practice settings such as healthcare, community-based organizations, educational institutions and more. This virtual conference will provide attendees with opportunities to appraise their research through the lens of implementation science, pragmatism and health equity integrating evidence into diverse settings. Participants will learn and discuss theories, methodologies, measures, grant writing strategies and barriers and solutions for disseminating and implementing evidence into real-world settings. Join us for the opportunity to network and learn about the emerging area of implementation science and funding opportunities in this area.
