What is Implementation Science?
Implementation science is the study of strategies and methods to improve ​the success of new evidence-based programs, policies, or practices. Implementation science researchers consider all aspects of the desired change, including key players, organizational context, culture, resources, motivations, and more. By considering the implementation process from every angle, they can identify strategies that can improve the odds of successful change.
