As health and community settings grapple with resource-constrained conditions, the use of evidence-based strategies in routine practice will be critical to maximizing the value of care and improving health outcomes. Implementation science research plays a critical role in promoting uptake of these strategies. Penn is home to a rich network of implementation science expertise and activities across many fields in health care. Activities include grant-funded projects, an education program, an annual Implementation Science Institute, and regular works-in-progress meetings.
