Center for Implementation and Improvement Sciences (CIIS) Fellowship
In order to build institutional capacity in Implementation and Improvement in the absence of formal “Implementation Science” training programs, CIIS now offers an Implementation Science Fellowship (CIIS Fellowship). During the fellowship, CIIS Fellows will:
|
- Learn theory, qualitative, and quantitative research skills through seminars, formal coursework, and hands-on immersion in IS research projects.
- Lead 1-2 implementation/improvement science projects in their content area of interest.
- Lead or participate in other CIIS projects that target specific learning points and methodological skills.
- Following fellowship, return to their respective Departments with new skills and become local leaders in Implementation and Improvement Sciences
- Devote 50-80% FTE during the 2 year fellowship towards training and applied research in implementation and improvement science
