Advancing Implementation Science, Ending the HIV Epidemic

Leaders in Implementation Science

The HIV Implementation Science Coordination Initiative (ISCI) provides high-quality technical assistance for Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) funded implementation research (IR) teams and creates opportunities to share generalizable knowledge to help end the HIV epidemic in the United States. Our site includes:

Featured Tools:

Implementation Research Logic Model (IRLM)

The IRLM is a tool that helps combine and organize project frameworks; specify the relationships between constructs across frameworks; and improve the rigor, reproducibility, and transparency of the project.

Literature Review Dashboard

The Literature Review Dashboard is an interactive database tool comprised of hundreds of US studies that identify multilevel determinants of HIV implementation to help inform the delivery of HIV programs and services.

HIV Implementation Outcomes Crosswalk

The HIV Implementation Outcomes Crosswalk is a translational tool to help EHE-funded HIV researchers and implementation partners identify and select relevant implementation outcomes for their implementation research projects.
