06-10/11/2018 - Implementation Science Research Training School (Βραζιλία)

The São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) in collaboration with the Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD) will be holding a 5-day implementation science school in Campinas, Brazil from 6-10, November 2018.

According to GACD, implementation science is commonly defined as the study of methods and strategies to promote the uptake of interventions that have proven effective into routine practice, with the aim of improving population health. Implementation science, therefore, examines what works, for whom and under what circumstances, and how interventions can be adapted and scaled up in ways that are accessible and equitable.

The Implementation Science Research Training School will be facilitated by some of the field’s most prominent global experts in implementation science and aims to:

-Introduce early- and mid-career researchers to the field of dissemination and implementation science.
-Inform, through practitioners, policymakers and researchers, how to study and implement research findings into policy and practice.
-Expand on this field of science with regards to the use of theoretical models, study design measurement.
-Illustrate ways of collaborating and networking more globally.
-Showcase examples of implementation research and the uptake of research findings into policy and practice.

A total of approximately 70 participants (35 from Brazil, 35 from other countries) will be accepted in the School.

Eligible participants will mainly include early- and mid-career researchers who have completed and/or are undertaking postgraduate coursework/researchers studies related to one of the health sciences or public health (or another relevant field). PhDs graduated in the last 3 years and other relevant graduates with up to 5 years of relevant research experience are also encouraged to apply.

Applications will be reviewed by the event organisers and successful applicants will have the costs of their travel and accommodation over the course of the training provided.
