After four years as a developmental AIDS Research Center, the University of Washington Behavioral Innovation Research Center for HIV (BIRCH) was awarded a P30 grant by the National Institute of Mental Health and is now a full AIDS Research Center. Co-directed by Susan M. Graham and Lydia Chwastiak, BIRCH provides infrastructure and support for high-impact, interdisciplinary research on HIV and mental health, and will be serving a wide range of partners through this renewal.

"We are very excited to launch BIRCH as a full AIDS Research Center serving the UW community, new regional partners including Washington State University and Oregon Health & Science University, and our DGH global partners," shares Graham. “For this renewal, we highlighted the importance of our community partners, with each core supporting community engagement, capacity building, and meaningful partnerships.”

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the 2026 Implementation Science Institute! It was a week of engaging conservations and interesting questions. We look forward to seeing how you will be using implementation science to improve health outcomes across the U.S. and around the world.

08/20/2026

We know its going to be a great week when we get to take the time for a deep dive into implementation science! The UW Global Health Implementation Science Program is thrilled to welcome 83 researchers, clinicians, and public health professionals representing 12 countries for a one-week intensive course, led by faculty co-directors Kenny Sherr and Arianna Means.

The course offers two tracks: Fundamentals which provides participants with the opportunity to get an introduction to the field, and for those who already have an introductory understanding of implementation science (IS), and Advanced which deepens training in IS methods and their application.

Over the course of the week, participants will listen to didactic lectures and case studies presented by IS researchers and collaborators of the DGH IS Program, to gain knowledge and the tools to help bridge the gap between research and practice, and ensure interventions work in the communities they serve.

To help demystify IS and provide resources to anyone wanting to learn more, visit the UW IS Resource Hub at https://impsciuw.org/.
