Opportunities for climate and health research through the use of implementation science approaches: frameworks, measures, examples

Audience

NIH Staff, Extramural and Intramural Researchers, General Public.

Date

April 23, 2024 | 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. ET

Purpose and Background

The goal of this speaker series was to advance the translational nature of climate and health research under the direction of the strategic vision of the NIH’s Climate Change and Health Initiative Strategic Framework. The urgency of intervention to protect human health against the threat of climate-amplified events requires a considered and systematic approach. Linking the generation of scientific knowledge to outcomes across the delivery of healthcare and emergency management services under the guise of public policy necessarily requires a transdisciplinary approach.

The second topic in the series focused on the role of implementation science in climate and health. Guided by expert speakers in the field, we examined frameworks and measures in implementation applicable to climate and health, the utility of these measures, and provided case studies for their use.
