Join us for an interactive webinar featuring Dr. Ana Manzano and Emma Williams, co-editors of Realist Evaluation: Principles and Practice. The book is a detailed guide to contemporary realist evaluation (RE) practice and features chapters addressing important questions related to the method. 

During the session, they will explore the book’s conceptualization and unique contributions, discuss novel applications of RE, and highlight emerging methodological innovations, all while addressing key questions grounded in their extensive experience.

Organized by Realist Evaluation Advancement Lab for Implementation Strategy Explanations, (REALISE)  Institute of Public Health, Bengaluru.

Moderator:
Dr. Prashanth N S, Director and Senior Fellow, Institute of Public Health, Bengaluru

Speakers:

• Dr. Ana Manzano, Associate Professor in Public Policy School of Sociology & Social Policy, University of Leeds
• Emma Williams, C.E. Former Associate Professor, Charles Darwin University

In Episode 2 of the ‘Inside Implementation: REALISE Webinar Series’ we hosted a panel discussion on the use of Implementation Research Methods with three distinguished experts, Dr. Malabika Sarker, Dr. Brynne Gilmore, and Dr. Sonu Goel, moderated by Dr. Upendra Bhojani. The speakers discussed their unique journeys based on their varied backgrounds in the field of Implementation Research highlighting the methodological challenges they encountered. They also underscored the need to strengthen capacity in these methods to improve research uptake, ultimately supporting a shift from Eurocentric models and frameworks to approaches more rooted in non-European contexts.

Title: Panel Discussion on the Use of Implementation Research Methods.

Implementation Research (IR) methods are being increasingly used for evaluating public health interventions and to shape evidence-based policies. Join us for an engaging panel discussion with three renowned experts in the field of IR, Dr. Malabika Sarker, Dr. Brynne Gilmore, and Dr. Sonu Goel. 

The panel will delve into how IR methods have been successfully applied to address complex health and policy challenges and will highlight the unique strengths of IR in bridging the gap between research and real-world implementation. The panelists will share their experiences in applying IR frameworks across diverse contexts and discuss strategies for building research capacity for early career researchers. They will offer invaluable insights for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers alike.
