Implementation Science

Please find below a range of helpful resources and learning opportunities on many aspects of Implementation Science.

Online Resources & Training Support

• Sydney Health Partners Community of Practice promotes and builds capacity in Implementation Science. Join to gain instant access to an extensive library of implementation science resources – including scientific articles, videos and templates to use in your own implementation projects.
• MACH Implementation Science Resource Directory This new Directory conveniently brings together diverse digital tools and resources into a central location to support health implementation efforts by beginners and experts. In the directory you’ll find: planning tools and templates, theories, models and frameworks, step-by-step guides to implementation research and practice, academic papers and webinars.
• JBI offers a variety of tools & resources to support implementation and evidence-based practice. Visit the EBP Resources and Implementation Training pages.
