Our Mission
PISCE’s mission is to advance the science and practice of implementation by building capacity, driving methodological innovation, fostering collaboration, and encouraging community. Offerings include tailored consultation and collaboration to support the development of research to guide the implementation of evidence-based interventions across a range of healthcare settings, hosting educational offerings for both the next generation of researchers as well as established investigators through its annual Implementation Science Institute attended by scholars within and outside of Penn and CHOP, methodology workshops, five additional graduate level courses on Implementation Science at Penn, and an Implementation Science Certificate Program. PISCE was founded at the University of Pennsylvania in 2012 and currently has over 400 affiliated members across Penn and CHOP. PISCE is currently overseen by Executive Director Dr. Courtney Benjamin Wolk.
Implementation Science Certificate Program
Through a combination of live didactics, experiential learning, and mentorship, the fully-remote Penn Implementation Science Certificate Program will equip the next generation of early career colleagues with the knowledge and skills needed to conduct rigorous, contextualized, and meaningful implementation research.
This program is ideal for scholars interested in developing competencies in implementation science for application to future research endeavors, including early career researchers seeking NIH K award or equivalent funding. The certificate is also expected to be of interest to implementation practitioners, including people engaged in improvement science.
