“Implementation science helps to bridge that gap between what we know we should be doing to doing what we should be doing,” he said. Geisel has previously not had infrastructure or any large capacity for implementation science, said Brown. The goals of the grant are to build capacity in implementation science research, to train junior faculty and to recruit additional faculty in the field to Dartmouth, Brown said. The grant will fund 50% of the salaries of about five to eight research project leaders, allowing them to develop unique implementation science research proposals, the release said. In addition to new monthly training seminars on implementation science, Geisel will host its first symposium on the topic on Sept. 24.
