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, among other uses.
Longitudinal Implementation Strategy Tracking System (LISTS)
LISTS offers a systematic method for documenting, specifying, and tracking the use of implementation strategies in a given project or study, increasing precision and reliability.
