Our spring Fundamentals seminars (March - June), featured an in-depth series on Implementation Science Theories, Models, and Frameworks (TMFs). The aim of this series was to highlight practical application of TMFs in implementation research, with each session led by a creator or key proponent of the TMF.  View recorded sessions here.
