Global WACh

Child Health IMplementation science research and Evaluation support (CHIMES)

We provide scientific consulting services centered on Ministries of Health, local implementers, and communities in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) as scientific partners. We currently support implementation research and training that is directly integrated within local efforts to improve design, implementation, and scale-up of effective interventions focused on pediatric health topics.

Our team within the Department of Global Health’s Implementation Science Program (ISP) and the Global Center for the Integrated Health of Women, Adolescents, and Children (Global WACh) offer a variety of services at all stages of implementation, including consultation on:

  • Refinement of evaluation questions
  • Evaluation design to answer implementation questions
  • Selection and integration of implementation theories, models, or frameworks to guide study design, data collection, or analysis
  • Design of data collection tools or supportive documents that leverage validated measures and indicators, including design of case report forms (e.g. questionnaires/surveys), qualitative interview or focus group guides, cost abstraction databases, observational checklists, process mapping or implementation trackers, adaptation trackers, or other relevant tools
  • Design of analysis plans, including statistical analysis plans or qualitative analysis plans
  • Co-analysis of data, including data cleaning, data management, and execution of analysis plans
  • Strategic planning for ongoing embedment of implementation research within health systems
  • Support in manuscript writing, conference presentations, or other dissemination activities
  • Training and technical skills building (in-person or online) for policymakers, implementers, research partners, and evaluation teams

We will work together to develop a realistic scope of work that meets partner objectives, timelines, and desired deliverables.
