Our final slam session! The influence of funders on implementation, the implementation playbook, the Pullman implementation fundamentals, and multisystem collaborations
Great job presenters Jared Martin, @MelanieBarwick, Michael Pullman (@ThatISPodcast), and Lisa Saldana
An unsurprisingly full ballroom for our final #SIRC2024 plenary session! Thank you @KimDuMont1 for helping us think thoughtfully about how to promote the use of evidence.
@wtgrantfdn Institutional Challenge Grants supports university-based research institutes, schools & centers in building research-practice partnerships with public agencies or nonprofit organizations wtgrantfoundation.org/fundin…
One way to build relationships is research-practice partnerships, which we have heard throughout #SIRC24. @wtgrantfdn has also funded research in this area!
The theme that keeps coming up across #SIRC24: Relationships matter. @KimDuMont1 highlights research that @wtgrantfdn has funded on relational use of evidence.
What is use of evidence? @KimDuMont1 describes conceptual, instrumental, process, and strategic use of evidence, which are relevant to but distinct from #impsci
A brief history of the @wtgrantfdn which funds impactful research on improving the use of evidence and reducing inequality. William T Grant is also one of our wonderful #SIRC24 conference sponsors.
Our final #SIRC24 plenary starts in one hour! Dr. @KimDuMont1 will present "The social side of research use: What else is needed, and where do we go from here?" in Capitol Ballroom 4-7 at 4:15pm. See you there!
We are so grateful to our fearless leader @sekerns, “conference queen” Geetha Gopalan, Nichole Atkinson, Melissa Griffin, and many others for their tremendous work putting together this #SIRC24 conference!
What are your Day 2 #SIRC24 plans? Be sure to drop by this @dartmouthimpsci table near the registration desk to learn about their new MS in #impsci. We are grateful to Dartmouth Geisel School of Medicine for their conference sponsorship.
Less public shaming and more effective implementation support and workforce preparedness in our second #SIRC24 SLAM session. Thank you to presenters @marylyndphan, Shannon Tracey, Rosalyn Bertram, and Michaela Harris!
This year, @will_aldridgeii & Stephanie Brooks launched our inaugural SIRC Cup where #impsci practitioners, researchers, & trainees came together to help fictional Oak County. We’re excited that it will now be known as the Katherine Anne Comtois Cup after our visionary founder.
Thank you Dr. Ramaswamy for sharing your expertise and the exciting directions of your work on using and adapting problem-based learning to build capacity - and thank you @ViiVHC for sponsoring this wonderful #SIRC24 plenary session.
Dr. Ramaswamy shares about an exciting project that will investigate potential head-to-head testing with HIV program implementers in Cameroon in March 2025. #ViiVHealthcare#EndTheEpidemic#EndingHIV#HIV
Walking the walk. Dr. Ramaswamy shares not only his perspective but also the mirroring perspective from midwife at Tema General Hospital and National Triage Champion, Joana Boyle.
When working on obstetric triage in Ghana, Dr. Ramaswamy discusses the need to help practitioners “solve problems while living forward” and “learn by looking backwards.”
We can learn from approaches from allied fields, such as problem based learning from medical education, in which a problem is identified, students think about why they know, and then teachers guide students to figure out how to solve the problem.
“In LMICs, implementation scientists in policy do not exist… groups of practitioners who have comprehensive training in implementation science do not exist… so we need to think about how to implement programs without some of the luxuries in other settings.”
Starting now! We’re looking forward to learning from Dr. Rohit Ramaswamy about developing scientist practitioners in global settings. This exciting #SIRC24 plenary is sponsored by @ViiVHC.
Our third #SIRC24 plenary sponsored by @ViiVHC starts in 1 hour! Dr. Rohit Ramaswamy will present "Developing scientist practitioners in global settings: Building implementation science capacity in Low and Middle Income Countries" in Capitol Ballroom 4-7 at 8:30. See you there!
@bjweiner describes how causal pathway diagrams can help us understand how, when, and under what conditions implementation strategies work. Learn more here: impsciuw.org/
