MASSACHUSETTS CONSORTIUM FOR CARDIOPULMONARY IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE SCHOLARS Webinar for applicants December 9, 2019 Stephenie Lemon, PhD, MS Peter Lindenauer, MD, MSc Renda Wiener, MD, MPH
Todays Agenda Implementation Science MCCISS program Eligibility Application process Questions
What is Implementation Science? Implementation Science is an emerging discipline in the health sciences. It addresses the need for new research about how to best incorporate evidence-based practice into routine clinical and public health practice. A well-trained scientific workforce is a critical component for the future of implementation science. MCCISS seeks to fill this workforce gap.
Methodology of Implementation Science Requires a unique and diverse set of methodologies and skill sets. Uses interdisciplinary team science in collaboration with stakeholders representing practice settings and organizations that aim to adopt evidence-based approaches.
MCCISS K12 Overarching program goals To promote the development of independent implementation scientists specializing in cardiopulmonary disease prevention, treatment and management through educational curricula, enrichment opportunities, and mentored research experiences, tailored to the individual scholar, and conducted in collaboration with a diverse range of clinical and community partners. To identify effective program components and implement continuous program improvement through an innovative, comprehensive program evaluation. To broadly advance the field of implementation science by disseminating innovative program components and best practices in implementation science training and career development.
