We foster new interdisciplinary implementation science research and link UW\u2019s research and public health activities to promote implementation science in real-world public health settings. The goal of the Implementation Science Core is to create new training opportunities for junior researchers, lead to new and innovative research, and ultimately improve the speed, efficiency, and quality of efforts to translate scientific evidence on HIV prevention and care into effective, large-scale health programs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tab-tour  vertical-tour\" id=\"tabs-tour-container\">\n<div class=\"screen-reader-text\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-3\">\n<ul class=\"nav flex-column nav-pills\" id=\"tab-tour\" role=\"tablist\" aria-orientation=\"vertical\">\n<li class=\"nav-item\" role=\"presentation\"><button role=\"tab\" class=\"nav-link active\" type=\"button\" id=\"title-tab-tour-1\" data-toggle=\"tab\" href=\"#tab-tour-1\"  aria-controls=\"tab-tour-1\" aria-selected=\"true\" >Services<\/button><\/li>\n<li class=\"nav-item\" role=\"presentation\"><button role=\"tab\" class=\"nav-link\" type=\"button\" id=\"title-tab-tour-2\" data-toggle=\"tab\" href=\"#tab-tour-2\"  aria-controls=\"tab-tour-2\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\">Activities<\/button><\/li>\n<li class=\"nav-item\" role=\"presentation\"><button role=\"tab\" class=\"nav-link\" type=\"button\" id=\"title-tab-tour-3\" data-toggle=\"tab\" href=\"#tab-tour-3\"  aria-controls=\"tab-tour-3\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\">Resources<\/button><\/li>\n<li class=\"nav-item\" role=\"presentation\"><button role=\"tab\" class=\"nav-link\" type=\"button\" id=\"title-tab-tour-4\" data-toggle=\"tab\" href=\"#tab-tour-4\"  aria-controls=\"tab-tour-4\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\">People<\/button><\/li>\n<li class=\"nav-item\" role=\"presentation\"><button role=\"tab\" class=\"nav-link\" type=\"button\" id=\"title-tab-tour-5\" data-toggle=\"tab\" href=\"#tab-tour-5\"  aria-controls=\"tab-tour-5\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\">Contact<\/button><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-9\">\n<div class=\"tab-content\" id=\"tab-content-tab-tour\">\n<div class=\"tab-pane fade show active\" id=\"tab-tour-1\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"title-tab-tour-1\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<div class=\"content_block\" id=\"custom_post_widget-863\">\n<div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-caret su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\">\n<div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>Implementation Science Research Consultation<\/div>\n<div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\nImplementation Science Research Consultation to help CFAR investigators form interdisciplinary teams; translate their research into public health or clinical practice; and provide technical support in implementation science measures, research design, economic modeling, and disease transmission modeling.
