Each of our projects is developing and testing technology- based implementation strategies to promote uptake of evidence-based interventions within local rural practice in the US. The University of Washington (UW) is a nationally recognized leader in the emerging field of implementation science and UW Coordinating Center is well-positioned to support the design, implementation, and dissemination of the research network. The Rural PRO-CARE Coordinating Center has three cores: Administrative, Training, and Health Services and Implementation Research. Our diverse team of nurses, pharmacists, physicians, economists, lawyers, and policy experts adds value to each project and promotes synergy across projects.
