RE-AIM/PRISM Fellowship

Overview:

The RE-AIM/PRISM Fellowship is an experiential learning opportunity designed to develop expertise in implementation science through hands-on application of the RE-AIM/PRISM framework. Fellows work closely with mentors and members of the RE-AIM/PRISM Consortium to deepen their understanding of implementation science methods while contributing to projects that advance the field.

As part of the fellowship, fellows lead and contribute to impactful initiatives, including the development of qualitative methodology guidance for RE-AIM/PRISM, participation in consortium activities, collaborative scholarship, and dissemination efforts. Fellows engage regularly with Consortium leadership, mentors, and peers through meetings, educational seminars, and topic-focused discussions, while building skills in implementation science research and practice.

The fellowship also provides training in RE-AIM/PRISM and related implementation science methodologies, access to mentorship and networking opportunities with experts in the field, and opportunities to present work to national audiences. Through these experiences, fellows gain practical experience, professional development, and meaningful connections within the implementation science community.
