# IMPlementation to Achieve Clinical Transformation (IMPACT): The Colorado Training Program

> **NIH NIH K12** · UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO DENVER · 2021 · $419,109

## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT
The objective of this K12 application, entitled IMPACT (IMPlementation to Achieve Clinical Transformation)
and centered at the University of Colorado School of Medicine Adult and Child Consortium for Health
Outcomes Research and Delivery Science (ACCORDS), is to prepare a diverse group of scholars for careers
in T4 translational research with an emphasis on heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) disorders. Our
multifaceted, transdisciplinary center is ideal for training T4 implementation science researchers due to its level
of faculty expertise in implementation science and outcomes research, our strong record of postgraduate
training, and the excellent, diverse set of real world partner training sites in a variety of adult and child settings
addressing HLBS issues. The program will train eight scholars over the funding period, both MD and PhD
scholars, recruited from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds. The mixture of didactic and experiential
training will allow iterative research-to-practice and practice-to-research experiences. An innovative curriculum
of courses, seminars, work in progress research meetings, and workshops will provide scholars with solid
training in both basic T4 and health services research competencies (e.g., pragmatic trials and CER, T4
frameworks, stakeholder engagement, designs and outcomes for implementation science) and cutting edge T4
methods and approaches (e.g., designing for sustainability, adaptations to evidence based programs, practical
tools and iterative assessment for community and clinical settings). In particular, IMPACT scholars will receive
in depth training in application of T4 frameworks and methods including CFIR, RE-AIM, the 5Rs for relevant
research, the Evidence Integration Triangle, Dynamic Sustainability Framework, and interactive dissemination
and implementation (D&I) tools. Scholars will emerge from the program having received both strong general
training and in-depth T4 research experience relevant to HLBS subject areas and with translational research
experience in multiple diverse clinical settings.
