The Non-Communicable Diseases and Implementation Science laboratory lead programs on capacity-building to strengthen their resources on training and development on implementation research. These resources include the Implementation Science e-Hub, the Implementation Science School, Implementation research workshops, technical assistance and consultancy on implementation research.
Implementation research e-Hub
Through the support from GACD, we have developed an implementation Science e-Hub, overseen by an international advisory board consisting of implementation science experts from around the world. The e-Hub is a comprehensive online learning space on gaining new knowledge and building on skill development with implementation research, particularly in relation to chronic and complex non-communicable diseases. The e-Hub hosts a curated lecture series of implementation science research and methodology delivered by global experts and suitable for researchers, educators, students and practitioners in all stages of their implementation science journey. The e-Hub is regularly updated with the latest research, publications, how to guides and case studies from our collaborators. The e-Hub has been instrumental in conducting implementation research training and development. This information is accessed via this website: https://implementationscience-gacd.org.
The e-Hub is undergoing a major update with updated training videos, curated learning pathways, a dedicated educator’s portal, interactive quizzes, improved accessibility and translated materials and much more. Keep an eye out in the near future!
Implementation Science School
Our team co-leads the annual Implementation Science School in Collaboration with GACD. Up to fifty early- and mid-career researchers, practitioners and policy makers attend the school. Since 2018, there have been five implementation science schools with the first two hosted in person in Brazil and Thailand, and the recent workshops delivered virtually.

Implementation Science Masterclass
In 2022, our team in collaboration with GACD, launched the inaugural GACD Implementation Science Masterclass which focused on a deep-dive into scale up of non-communicable disease programmes for early-mid career implementation science researchers.
Implementation Research Workshops
Our laboratory also runs Implementation Research workshops and short courses in collaboration with other leading academic and research institutions within low and middle-income countries. We have conducted implementation research training workshops with the Institute for Health System Research (Malaysia). with the University of Philippines and the WHO Western Pacific Regional Office.
Technical Assistance
Our laboratory has been providing technical assistance in NCD implementation research for global organisations such as the World Health Organization (WHO). We are open to opportunities to partner with other academics and government institutions with undertaking further implementation science research and evaluation.
