2024 Seminar Series and Workshop

Seminar Series

The seminar series will explore the evolution, current state, and future research agenda in implementation science through a series of seminars featuring lectures by leading implementation science experts, as well as facilitated panel discussions. Attendees will engage with implementation science theory, implementation strategy development, selection and tailoring, study design, evaluation approaches, and real-world application of implementation science.

The seminars are held virtually on Zoom and registration is open to the public. The intended audience is researchers, healthcare professionals, and other practitioners interested in implementation science. We are pleased to offer CHES/MCHES Continuing Education Credits for the seminars.

Thanks to our Seminar Series Co-Sponsor, the Michael & Susan Dell Center for Healthy Living, we are pleased to offer 1.0 Entry-Level CHES/MCHES® Credits for this webinar!

In conjunction with the Seminar Series, we are soliciting applications for a workshop designed for early or mid-career researchers and health care professionals new to the field of implementation science who are interested in incorporating implementation science methodology into their research. Preference will be given to UTHealth Houston investigators.

Through four sessions facilitated by expert implementation researchers, we will build on the topics covered in the seminars and provide an opportunity for investigators to discuss and obtain feedback on research proposals. The workshop will be held via Zoom and there is no fee to apply or participate in the workshop.

Key Dates:

  • Workshop Session #1: Thursday, October 10, 2024 11am-1pm CT
