Where the Rubber Meets the Road: The Intersection of Research, Policy, and Practice

The goal of the 5th SIRC conference was to explore the ways in which research, policy, and practice intersect to advance the field and improve outcomes for populations served. Where does the “rubber meet the road” and how do our advances in implementation science have a direct and relevant impact on policies and programs in real world settings? We hope that our 2019 conference provided the opportunity for implementation researchers, intermediaries, practitioners, policy makers and students to convene, share innovations and ideas, and learn from one another. We believe that, more than ever, it is important to create a space where interactive dialogue can enable us to better understand each other’s perspectives and advance our field.
