SUMMARY:Summer Institute on Implementation Science
DESCRIPTION:   \nThis event is co-hosted by the Jordan Institute for Families | UNC School of Social Work\, the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute\, and National Implementation Research Network (NIRN). Generous support for this event has been provided by The Annie E. Casey Foundation. \n  \nREGISTRATION IS NOW FULL. \n*Lodging and parking details are provided further below. \nBackground/Need \nSocial workers and public health professionals interested in facilitating and understanding change processes note that implementation strategies have unparalleled importance in improving population outcomes\, as they constitute the ‘how to’ component (Proctor\, Powell\, & McMillen\, 2013) of changing practices and optimizing the use of evidence to benefit people and communities (Kainz & Metz\, 2017). As the field of implementation science has grown significantly over the last decade with the proliferation of frameworks\, models\, and theories\, there is mounting interest in building the capacity of professionals in social services and public health to make use of this emerging science to support sustainable practice and systems improvements. \nThis interest has led to an intensifying conversation regarding the need to train researchers and practitioners in implementation science (Padek et al.\, 2015).  Specifically\, the shortage of individuals trained in the practice of implementation has been cited as a reason for our failure to optimize the use of evidence to improve population outcomes (Straus et al.\, 2011.)  In response to this gap\, more is being studied and written about the specific competencies needed to facilitate change in complex systems (Bornbaum\, Kornas\, Peirson\, & Rosella\, 2015; Berta\, et al.\, 2015). Moreover\, the Grand Challenges Initiative developed by the American Academy of Social Work and Social Welfare (Sherradon et al.\, 2015) explicates a set of pressing social issues\, around which social work researchers and practitioners can unite. The highlighted challenges are complex\, and will require the cultivation of implementation competencies among the researchers and practitioners who are positioned to address them. \nPurpose \nThis new two-day Summer Institute seeks to provide foundational knowledge of implementation science and to build professional and graduate students’ knowledge\, skills\, and strategies for supporting change using implementation best practices. Through interdisciplinary professional development and seminar series\, this Summer Institute will orient participants to the skills and competencies of implementation practice and will foster the development of foundational skills needed to support the use of evidence in practice. \nObjectives \nThe Summer Institute aims to seed the growth of implementation science practitioners who will be able to: \n\nIdentify and characterize problems that can be addressed through more effective implementation.\nSupport authentic engagement of communities and stakeholders in all stages of the implementation process resulting in programs and practices that are contextualized and tailored to settings to improve outcomes.\nIntegrate use of quantitative and qualitative feedback at each stage of implementation to optimize performance of programs and practices in local contexts and at scale.\nSupport the sustainability of interventions and approaches by developing a shared vision\, building capacity\, and supporting collaboration.\n\n\n\n\n\nA unififying element of the institute will be the promotion and cultivation of Skills and Competencies for Implementation Practitioners\, namely: Co-Creation\, in the form of co-learning\, brokering\, addressing power differentials\, co-design\, and tailored support; Continuous Improvement\, in the form of assessing need and context\, applying and integrating implementation science approaches\, and conducting improvement cycles; and Sustaining Change\, in the form of growing and sustaining relationships\, building capacity\, cultivating leadership\, and facilitation. \n*For additional media related to implementation\, tune in to the National Implementation Research Network podcast! \nSummer Institute Planning Committee \nCo-Chair: Sarah Verbiest – Director of the Jordan Institute for Families\, John A. Tate Early Career Scholars for Children in Need Professor at the School of Social Work\, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Executive Director of the Center for Maternal and Infant Health \nCo-Chair: Allison Metz – Director of the National Implementation Research Network (NIRN)\, Senior Research Scientist at the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute; Research Professor at the School of Social Work\, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill \nMembers: Amanda Farley – Project Manager\, National Implementation Research Network (NIRN)\, Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute; Todd Jensen – Research Associate\, Jordan Institute for Families; Research Assistant Professor at the School of Social Work\, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill \nWhy the UNC-CH School of Social Work’s Jordan Institute for Families and NIRN came together:  \nThe UNC-CH School of Social Work’s Jordan Institute for Families and the National Implementation Research Network (NIRN) are partnering to offer the inaugural Summer 2018 Institute on Implementation Science. The new Summer Institute provides an exciting opportunity to join the Jordan Institute’s mission to extend social work training beyond the academy walls into communities with NIRN’s goal to support the development and use of evidence to improve outcomes for children and families. Social workers and public health professionals attending the Summer Institute will develop foundational skills to use emerging science to support sustainable practice and system improvements in their communities. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are excited to welcome our outstanding Plenary Speakers: \nAllison Blake\, PhD\, LSW has more than 30 years of experience serving children and families. She was recently appointed a Senior Fellow with the Annie E. Casey Foundation where her primary focus is assisting public and private child welfare agencies implement the Family First Prevention Services Act. Previously\, she served as commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Children and Families for more than seven and a half years. Under her leadership\, the department successfully implemented an integrated and strategic approach to delivering child welfare services. This approach promoted evidence informed\, community- based services to support women\, children\, and families. Dr. Blake also led New Jersey’s efforts to significantly expand community partnerships to prevent child abuse and strengthen families. She previously served as Director of the Institute for Families at Rutgers University School of Social Work and Vice President of Accreditation Operations at the Council on Accreditation. Dr. Blake earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from Rutgers University and a Doctorate from Fordham University. Through her extensive work and vast experience\, Dr. Blake has acquired comprehensive knowledge and insight on developing programs and improving child welfare systems in order to improve the lives of children and families. She is a member of the National Board of Directors of the Child Welfare League of America and a member of the National Advisory Committee on Children and Disasters. \n  \nPaul Elam\, PhD\, president of PPA\, is a skilled team builder\, project manager\, and researcher with policy expertise in youth violence and prevention\, crime and justice\, and child maltreatment. He conducts his work using a culturally responsive and racial equity lens and brings a commitment to diversity\, inclusion\, and equity. Dr. Elam has a wealth of knowledge and experience measuring racial and ethnic disproportionality and believes that sound public policy analysis should include an examination of whether all people are being treated fairly and equitably. For the last decade\, Dr. Elam has worked with the Governor’s Committee on Juvenile Justice\, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services\, and local jurisdictions to ensure that justice-involved youth are treated fairly and equitably. He is responsible for data collection\, reporting\, technical assistance and strategic support to develop and implement solutions that reduce disproportionate minority contact in Michigan’s child welfare and juvenile justice systems. Dr. Elam is assisting the Annie E. Casey Foundation as an advisor and mentor with the Expanding the Bench Initiative. This initiative aims to improve evaluation science and social innovation by increasing diversity in the field of research and evaluation. Dr. Elam’s work will focus on evaluators from historically underrepresented groups with evaluation expertise in the areas of child welfare and juvenile justice. Dr. Elam is also partnering with the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) to document the experiences and perspectives of students of color in Michigan’s public school system. The goal is to help Michigan schools narrow the achievement gap between African-American students and others by listening to these students about their experiences. Findings will be used to help develop culturally responsive pedagogy and teaching approaches that increase the academic success and retention of students of color in underperforming schools. Dr. Elam has been a lead consultant on numerous statewide projects\, including the Michigan Coalition for Race Equity in Child Welfare and Juvenile Justice and the Michigan Child Welfare Improvement Task Force. He also played a key role in the development and implementation of the Michigan Prisoner ReEntry Initiative and continues to work on reentry training across the U.S. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nA special thanks to UNC-CH Administration\, UNC-CH School of Social Work\, and FPG Child Development Institute Leadership for their suppport: \nBob Blouin\, PharmD is the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost (“provost”) of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The provost serves as the Chief Operating Officer of the university and works in unison with the chancellor to lead critically important pan-university initiatives. The provost also has oversight responsibilities for budget and planning. \nAlongside Chancellor Carol Folt\, Blouin plays a central leadership role in implementing Carolina’s first-ever strategic framework\, an initiative that will guide university growth over the next decade. He believes a key mission of the provost is to ensure Carolina attracts\, develops and retains leading faculty members focused on preparing students for success in a rapidly changing global economy. \nAn acclaimed educator\, award-winning researcher and internationally recognized innovator\, Blouin was Dean of the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy from 2003 to 2017. When announcing Blouin as Carolina’s 15th Provost\, Chancellor Folt cited his exceptional professionalism as dean and his change-leadership success that has helped accelerate the school’s unprecedented expansion and international recognition in its research\, education and global engagement programs. He will continue to serve as the school’s Bryson Distinguished Professor. \n  \n \nGary Bowen\, PhD is Dean and Kenan Distinguished Professor in the School of Social Work at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Dr. Bowen currently co-directs the School Success Profile (SSP) project. The two student-level assessments that have emerged from this work — the School Success Profile and the Elementary School Success Profile — have been administered to nearly 100\,000 students in nearly 2\,000 schools and youth-serving agencies. The SSP or parts of the SSP have been translated into five languages: Spanish\, Hebrew\, Lithuanian\, Romanian\, and Portuguese. Dr. Bowen developed the School Success Profile Learning Organization (SSP-LO) instrument to assess schools’ organizational readiness for innovation. Dr. Bowen also has extensive experience working with all branches of the military services\, and during the past 30 years\, he has visited installations worldwide in the context of consulting with military policy makers\, researchers\, and practitioners across a range of mental health and social service issues. In 2017\, Dr. Bowen was selected as an American Academy of Social Work and Social Welfare Fellow for his distinguished accomplishment as a scholar and practitioner dedicated to achieving excellence in his work to advance social good. \n  \nAysenil Belger\, PhD is Director of the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute\, Professor and Director of Neuroimaging Research in Psychiatry\, and adjunct Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and at the Duke-UNC Brain Imaging and Analysis Center. Dr. Belger is a cognitive neuroscientist whose research focuses on translational and interdisciplinary studies of brain circuits underlying attention\, emotion and decision making\, and how these circuits break down in neuropsychiatric and neuro-development disorders such as schizophrenia and autism. Dr. Belger combines functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)\, electrophysiological scalp recording (EEG)\, functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)\, experimental psychology and neuropsychological assessment techniques to understanding the development of the adolescent brain\, and how nature/nurture interactions provide particular vulnerability to individuals who develop schizophrenia or autism. Her integrative research has most recently pioneered exploration of electrophysiological and functional abnormalities in young autistic children\, as well as children\, adolescents and adults at clinical and familial risk for psychosis. Dr. Belger is part of a large interdisciplinary team of investigators conducting multi-institutional studies exploring the impact of early childhood abuse and neglect on adult brain function\, structure and substance abuse outcomes.
