Implementation Science Resource Library
There is a well-known gap between research findings and their actual use in clinical practice or health decision making. Work to shift results from scientific research into everyday clinical practice and decision making is known as ‘implementation science’.
This resource library intends to support health researchers, clinicians, policy makers and related professionals in WA to increase your knowledge and skills in applying implementation science within your work. This is important to increase the quality and relevance of research, as well as increase the speed of translating research into policy and practice.

The implementation science resource library was developed in January 2026 based on a desktop search for local and international resources to build knowledge and skills in implementation science. This is a dynamic resource, updated regularly. If you have any feedback on the resource library, or would like to submit a resource that is not already included please contact us via the below form, or email us directly to implementation.cafe@ecu.edu.au
