Institute of Public Health, Bengaluru in association with Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia will be hosting a 4-day (15th – 18th November, 2017) workshop on “Implementation Research”.

There is a need to understand implementation in the real world context. There are many evidence based interventions to improve health care that have not been effectively delivered. The research agenda especially in the context of maternal and child health, non communicable diseases etc. has been shifting and needs to shift from understanding the problem to actually intervening and testing solutions in health care systems. This training is very much required to improve capacity of researchers to answer implementation research questions.

Training Objectives
