Implementation Facilitation Learning Collaborative (IFLC)

Led by Katherine Dollar, PhD

A resource developed and facilitated by the Behavioral Health QUERI, the IFLC is comprised of a community of researchers and implementation practitioners interested in applying and studying implementation facilitation. The goal of the IFLC is to provide a platform for participants to share what they are learning with one another and work collaboratively to promote the practice of implementation facilitation. In addition to participating in group learning experiences, IFLC members actively contribute to the development of tools and products to support the use of implementation facilitation strategies through their participation on IFLC workgroups and/or collaboration with the Behavioral Health QUERI. The IFLC meets monthly and is comprised of implementation scientists, other VA and non-VA investigators, and operational leaders.
