    Course Learning Objectives

    This course explores the current literature on implementation science; introduces strategies for using innovative scientific methods and tools of diverse disciplines to understand and overcome impediments to implementation and facilitate scale-up; and uses applied case studies to identify and contextualize implementation successes and failures. At the end of this course the student should be able to:

    1. Identify the major factors that limit the translation of high-quality evidence into effective health programs and describe the role of complementary implementation science research methods in the development of evidence-based health programs and policies;
    2. Explain appropriate research and evaluation methods to overcome impediments to implementation and facilitate timely scale-up of proven interventions with high levels of fidelity and effectiveness;
    3. Contextualize and explain real-world examples where sound interventions failed or succeeded; and
    4. Describe at least one framework for designing successful implementation strategies and apply the framework to a real-world health problem.
