The Implementation Science program area seeks to identify effective strategies for implementing evidence-based practices and interventions in real-world health care and other settings. Our work includes studies on barriers and facilitators to implementing program or clinical innovations, best practices for scaling successful interventions, and implementation frameworks and tools to support health care organizations and providers.

Key Partners

The Northern New England CO-OP Practice and Community Based Research Network (NNE CO-OP PCBRN) is sponsored by the Department of Community & Family Medicine at Dartmouth Health and Geisel School of Medicine in collaboration with the University of Vermont and Maine Health. As a voluntary, cooperative network of primary care clinicians, the CO-OP provides opportunities for members to develop new research skills and conduct studies in partnership with their patients, academic researchers, and the communities they serve. As the oldest continuously operating PBRN in the country, we’re proud to continue our rich history of improving patient outcomes, instilling a focus of patient values, and developing methods that work in busy community-practice settings across the region.
