Join us in advancing the frontiers of implementation and translational research
The Washington University Institute of Clinical and Translational Sciences (ICTS) is excited to announce the Implementation Science Academy. This program is designed to foster the rise of emerging national leaders in implementation science with a focus on deepening applied implementation research in particular domain areas and enhance Washington University’s leaders in implementation science.
WISA aims to:
- Build Capacity for Translational Science Through Near-Peer “Implementation Research Champion” Approach: This initiative leverages the concept of “social proof” by supporting rising faculty members as near-peer champions in dissemination and implementation (D&I) science. Over the course of a year, these champions will receive structured support to lead D&I efforts in their own departments through tailored activities such as research design workshops, training programs, grant reviews, pilot funding, and content-specific consultations.
- Build Translational Research Capacity: By the end of the year, each champion’s department is expected to submit pilot grant proposals, demonstrating increased engagement in implementation research. This model builds on existing ICTS D&I Core efforts and aims to deepen and customize support for translational research within specific domains of the School of Medicine, fostering both internal and external funding opportunities.
