Welcome to the Implementation Science News!
Welcome, readers. You’re most likely receiving this newsletter because in the past you subscribed to the Implementation Network Newsletter. We’re excited to continue the work of Dr. Wynne E. Norton and Allyson Varley with the Implementation Science News, and very humbled by our selection to do so.
Over the coming weeks we’ll be adding some ‘Behind the Scenes’ posts to our site, to introduce our team and to give a glimpse into our editorial processes. We'll continue to post abstracts, opportunities and announcements to the site and feature timely announcements in the monthly newsletter.
This month we have highlights from our site, including: a featured article with commentary, conferences, fellowships, funding opportunities, jobs, training opportunities, webinars and abstracts. (Scroll down for additional newsletter sections.)
Take a spin about the site, explore the newsletter, and please send any feedback, comments or announcements to cis@consortiumforis.org. |
