Project Title: Washington University Implementation Science Center for Cancer Control

Funding Agency: National Institutes of Health / National Cancer Institute

Project Title: Washington University Implementation Science Center for Cancer Control (WU – ISCCC) (P50 CA-19-006)

Project Description: The overall goal of the WU-ISCCC is to build a rigorous, scientific evidence base for rapid-cycle implementation research to increase the reach, external validity, and sustainability of effective cancer control interventions. Our focus is on disadvantaged and minority populations in rural and other under served communities. We believe interventions are most effective when they are adapted and implemented in real-world settings in partnership with practice-based stakeholders and integrated across settings that impact cancer control.

Project Title: Understanding Implementation Mechanisms: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Schools Aimed at Testing the Effectiveness of Implementation Strategies and their Mechanisms of Change

Funding Agency: Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life and Welfare

Project Title: Understanding Implementation Mechanisms: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Schools Aimed at Testing the Effectiveness of Implementation Strategies and their Mechanisms of Change

Project Description: There is an urgent need for more knowledge on effective implementation strategies, as two-thirds of implementation efforts fail to achieve the intended change, and half have no effect on outcomes of interest. These implementation failures are partly due to the limited understanding of how implementation strategies work—the mechanisms of change through which implementation strategies affect implementation. This project will fill this research-gap by incorporating mediation analyses into a cluster randomized controlled trial that compares the effectiveness of two implementation strategies for implementing the Guideline for the prevention of mental ill-health at the workplace in schools.

Completed Projects

Project Title: Improving the Implementation and Sustainment of EBPs in Mental Health: Developing and Piloting the Collaborative Organizational Approach to Selecting and Tailoring Implementation Strategies (COAST-IS)

Funding Agency: National Institute of Mental Health

Project Title: Improving the Implementation and Sustainment of EBPs in Mental Health: Developing and Piloting the Collaborative Organizational Approach to Selecting and Tailoring Implementation Strategies (COAST-IS) (K 01 MH113806)

 Project Description: The purpose of this K01 is to develop the Collaborative Organizational Approach to Selecting and Tailoring Implementation Strategies (COAST-IS), an innovative intervention that will help organizations to use Intervention Mapping to thoughtfully address context and EBP-specific determinants of implementation and sustainment. We will then conduct a randomized pilot trial of COAST-IS in eight organizations.
