2022 Conference
From Implementation Foundations to New Frontiers
September 8-10, 2022 | chaired by Elizabeth Connors and Jared Martin
This conference marked an important point in time to consider synergies in implementation science and practice in order to lead, support and transform opportunities to accelerate evidence into practice domestically and internationally. The SIRC 2022 theme was designed to ground us in the evidence base and realities of multisector systems to propel implementation research and practice to achieve more equitable, generalizable, and global impact. Frontiers to innovate and expand the reach of evidence to practice were founded on our 10-year history as an organization and the much longer legacy of implementation research and practice.
