LEAP Learner | Implementation Science
This course offers beginning, intermediate, and advanced learners an entrée into implementation science. While this course, developed by JCOIN, uses examples primarily drawing on research in health and criminal-legal settings, the principles found herein apply broadly and will interest anyone seeking an introduction to the theory and methods of implementation science. Learners seeking a basic understanding may find their needs met by the course introduction. Those wanting more can explore three additional modules that address the application of implementation science within a large study collaborative and offer a panel discussion in which prominent members of the field share how they use implementation science to advance their work. Learners who complete all four modules will receive a certificate of completion.
