Last week’s Observable Highlights bear repeating:
“Billions of dollars are invested each year in scientific research, yet too often the benefits stop at journal publications rather than reaching patients, communities or policymakers.”
“This ‘know-do’ gap is among the most pressing and underaddressed challenges in health research today.”
“Implementation science emerged to confront that challenge by studying how evidence-based programs and policies are adopted, adapted and sustained — or discontinued.”
“It’s important to track earlier use indicators — such as whether evidence is being noticed, discussed or taken up by practitioners, organizations or decision-makers.”
“Generating new knowledge alone no longer meets the moment. Implementation science must put impact at the center of how research is designed, evaluated and rewarded. The result could be faster translation of evidence into action, more equitable health outcomes and greater public value from scientific investment.”
