Using the Implementation Research Logic Model to Design Your Project
This course introduces the Implementation Research Logic Model (IRLM) and shows you how to use it to design strong, decision-ready implementation projects. You’ll learn how to clearly define what you’re implementing, assess key contextual factors, and select implementation strategies that directly address real-world barriers.
Through practical examples, the course walks you step by step through the core components of the IRLM—evidence-based practice, determinants, strategies, mechanisms, and outcomes—and shows how they connect to form a clear, logical plan. You’ll also learn how to specify strategies in enough detail for replication, anticipate how change will occur, and select meaningful outcomes to measure success.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to build a logic model that not only strengthens your study design but also helps communicate your approach to funders, collaborators, and stakeholders.
