Welcome to IS-2

The Institute for Implementation Science Scholars (IS-2) is a mentored training program for investigators interested in applying dissemination and implementation (D&I) methods and strategies to reduce the burden of chronic disease and address health inequities.

Important Update

Please note, the current funding mechanism for IS-2 supports three cohorts, which have been selected. We will not be enrolling additional cohorts in the near term.

For those seeking dissemination and implementation training opportunities, we recommend reviewing a recent publication* summarizing available programs: List of D&I Programs (see Table 3).
