The UBC Knowledge Exchange and SFU Knowledge Mobilization units, in partnership with UBC Health and Genome BC, are thrilled to announce our first cohort of the SFU-UBC Implementation Science training program. The program's primary goal is to increase British Columbia's research capacity in implementation science by enhancing grant funding opportunities for projects led by BC-based researchers and expanding the province's network of implementation scientists. The inaugural cohort of IS Scholars comprises researchers from Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia, representing various facets of health research.
