EHE recognizes that we have all the tools to end the epidemic in the U.S.; however, significant implementation challenges remain that prevent people from accessing these tools at the right time. The research aims of ISC3I are to identify, collate, and disseminate shared measures and best practices related to implementation research frameworks, outcomes, determinants, and strategies in HIV. The service aims are to work with funded regional Hubs to provide training and support, resources, and expert consultation for academic researchers and practice-based partners on funded HIV projects around implementation science.
Reporting to the Research Project Coordinator, this position will assist in various operational aspects of ISC3I: maintaining the online Community of Practice website; designing and drafting communications that target research teams as well as their community partners, liaising with HIV implementation science experts in support of research activities; communicating with Northwestern University administrators; scheduling meetings with investigators and staff from the supplement projects; and helping to produce an implementation science webinar series. Regular communication with federal partners from NIH, CDC, and HRSA, local and regional health agencies, academic investigators, and research staff across the US should be expected.
