Brown Research on Implementation and Dissemination to Guide Evidence Use (BRIDGE) Program

The BRIDGE Program is Brown University's implementation science hub, helping researchers, practitioners, healthcare systems, and community partners move evidence into action.

Since 2018, the BRIDGE Program at Brown University has helped bridge the gap between research and practice. Through implementation science training, consultation, methods development, and collaborative partnerships, BRIDGE supports researchers, practitioners, healthcare systems, and community partners in moving evidence into action.

What is Implementation Science?

Research can't improve lives until it reaches practice. Yet it takes approximately 17 years for only 14% of research evidence to be used in routine care. Implementation science is the study of how to bridge this gap by understanding what helps evidence-based innovations be adopted, implemented, and sustained in real-world settings.

Implementation science helps people:

  • Understand barriers and facilitators to implementation
  • Develop practical strategies that support adoption and use
  • Plan for sustainability from the beginning
  • Maximize the real-world impact of evidence-based innovations

Our Vision, Mission, Values

The BRIDGE Program's work is guided by our vision, mission, and values.

The BRIDGE Program is an international leader in implementation science with a reputation for doing and promoting high quality, practical implementation research. 

We build capacity for implementation science by training current and future practitioners and researchers, especially those who have historically lacked access to such training.

We approach our work with a culture of caring, compassion, and collaboration. 

We attend to individual and collaborator needs through responsive, tailored, and practical approaches for our partners.

We conduct work that meaningfully impacts children, families, adults, and healthcare systems by improving access to high-quality, equitable, evidence-based treatments. 

The BRIDGE program catalyzes the equitable dissemination and implementation of evidence-based interventions into routine practice through collaboration, mentorship, and capacity building for future implementation scientists and practitioners.

Rigor: We use practical, tailored, evidence-based methods with attention to continuous improvement and sustainment.  

Creativity: We prioritize innovation, adapting to challenges with co-designed solutions. 

Inclusivity: We foster a welcoming environment where everyone is respected, represented, and valued.

Curiosity: We seek to learn from lived experiences, ask constructive questions, and use implementation methods to meet complexity head-on. 

Partnership: We are invested in developing and maintaining mutually beneficial working relationships with our partners.
