Program Design & Implementation Science

Dartmouth Research Shared Resources brings together core facilities across Dartmouth College, the Geisel School of Medicine, Dartmouth Cancer Center and Dartmouth Health to drive scientific discoveries from basic science through clinical translation. These resources serve as collaboratories - hubs of specialized expertise and instrumentation working closely with researchers - that are true partners in the research enterprise. Together, we apply cutting-edge techniques to advance science at Dartmouth and beyond.

The Center for Program Design and Evaluation (CPDE) at Dartmouth specializes in program design, evaluation, and research. Its core competencies include evaluation and research design, logic models, needs assessment, mixed methods, instrument design and administration, qualitative data collection, data visualization, and reporting.

Dartmouth Center for Implementation Science (DCIS) maintains a central hub of implementation science materials, including seminars and curated training modules, funding opportunities and toolkits. Resources are provided to help plan, carry out, and evaluate implementation research efforts in health care and community settings.

Training Institute for Dissemination and Implementation Research in Cancer (TIDIRC) is an eight module series, including videos, readings, and self-reflection questions. These self-paced courses train researchers and practitioners in cancer-focused dissemination and implementation research and are designed to help trainees develop and workshop implementation project ideas.
