New Investigator Sub-Network of Expertise

The New Investigators Network of Expertise (NoE) includes researchers with:

1. A doctoral degree or equivalent experience 
2. Experience conducting research in D&I for approximately 5 years (including before or during a graduate degree)
   • Experience in D&I research is inclusive of dissemination & implementation science and related fields, such as community-based participatory research, community psychology, program evaluation, quality improvement in healthcare, health equity research, and health services research.
3. A track record of publications or received a grant in D&I (either as principal, chief, or co-investigator)

What do NoE members do?

All members of the research NoEs provide mentorship to implementation scientists earlier in their D&I career, and/or volunteer with SIRC’s various initiatives (e.g., hosting a webinar/office hour, providing mentorship, participating in Implementation Development Workshops).
