Join us at the SIRC 2026 Conference for an engaging, in-person opportunity to connect, collaborate, and learn alongside colleagues advancing implementation research and practice. This year’s conference theme, “Building Communities to Translate Evidence into Practice and Practice into Evidence,” centers on the evolving intersections of policy, science, and real-world application. As the 8th biennial SIRC conference, this meeting comes at a pivotal moment to reflect on how recent innovations can strengthen the translation of evidence-based practices into diverse real-world settings, fostering meaningful and scalable impact in the U.S. and globally.
Submissions are welcome from multiple disciplines and settings, including (but not limited to): behavioral and mental health, medicine, public health, child welfare, juvenile and criminal justice, education, prevention, early intervention, and developmental disabilities. The conference aims to showcase implementation research, practice, and policy, with many ongoing developments and expansive applications to different contexts, disease areas, public health issues, and human service sectors locally and globally. We will prioritize submissions that represent the full continuum of implementation, including integrating practice, policy, and research, with particular emphases on:
- Collaborative partner engagement
- Advancement of the field’s knowledge
- Innovative approaches to implementation
