Strategic Planning Group (SPG)

The SIRC is not only an NIMH-funded conference series, but also a contingent of experts whose collective interest is in advancing the field of implementation science with a focus on Evidence Based Psychosocial Intervention implementation research methodology issues. The core group of the SIRC has worked hard to identify experts in the field who together constitute the Strategic Planning Group (SPG).

The SPG will be connected through a password protected page on the SIRC website linking members to a developing library of implementation-related articles, a comprehensive review of implementation measures and instruments, and information about colleagues to facilitate networking, collaborating, and consultation. We hope that the formation of the SPG will promote collaboration between and beyond the conferences.

SPG members will have the opportunity to present their work at the Implementation Research Development Workshop during the conferences. This one-day invited research meeting of experts in implementation research with junior and community colleagues will be held on the day following the Two-Day Research Conference and will focus on maximizing the methodology of new and in-progress implementation research projects and building collaboration between participants.
