Introduction to Implementation Science with Dr. Heather Reisinger

Thursday, September 17, 2026 3:30pm to 5:00pm
Social Sciences Research Building
Research discoveries often take years to reach routine practice. Implementation science seeks to understand and address this gap by studying how evidence-based interventions can be adopted, implemented, and sustained in real-world settings. In this introductory workshop, Dr. Reisinger will provide an overview of the core concepts, questions, and methods of implementation science, including implementation frameworks, strategies, and outcomes. Participants will also learn about resources available through the University of Iowa Implementation Science Center to support implementation science research, training, and collaboration.
