Grounds for Discovery: Coffee, Network and Learn
Join us for the next Grounds for Discovery seminar titled ‘Applying CFIR in Implementation Research: A Practical Introduction’, with guest speaker Dr Claire Kerins, Lecturer in Evidence-Based Healthcare at the University of Galway.
The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) is one of the most widely used frameworks in implementation science. Used across healthcare, public health, education, and other organisational settings, CFIR offers a structured way to identify the barriers and facilitators that influence the successful implementation of interventions, programmes, and policies.
This seminar introduces the updated CFIR, considers when it is and is not the right fit for a project, and outlines the practical steps involved in applying it. It will also cover common pitfalls and questions that arise most often when researchers apply CFIR for the first time. Whether you are new to implementation science or looking to strengthen your methodological toolkit, this seminar will provide valuable insights to support the design, delivery, and evaluation of implementation research projects.
