Why do so many school programs and initiatives start but go nowhere? It is very often because they are not implemented effectively. If you are a researcher or commissioner and you are involved in the implementation of a school program, implementation science might be able to help. It can help you understand the key barriers to implementation within school settings and then guide the development of appropriate implementation strategies. This seminar will explain what implementation is, why it can be so difficult to implement school programs, and how we can make the best implementation strategies to help us obtain expected results. We’ll work through some real life examples where we apply implementation science to a school setting. We will also be covering what needs to happen once implementation starts including the importance of ongoing adaptation, and human relationships. We'll finish by working through how Project SAMA will be building and using an implementation framework to boost the landing of our interventions in schools in Karnataka.

Who should attend: This event is ideal for both researchers and commissioners involved in the delivery of a school program.
