BRIDGE Program

The BRIDGE Program, led by Founding Director Rani Elwy, Ph.D., and Associate Director Hannah Frank, PhD., fosters the translation, spread, and scale-up of evidence-based practices into routine clinical care.

BRIDGE logo

Since its founding in 2018, the BRIDGE program has built capacity for implementation science among Rhode Island investigators and national collaborators conducting translational research. The program offers consultation, methods development, and educational opportunities.

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.

What is Implementation Science?

It takes approximately 17 years for 14% of research evidence to be used in practice.

Implementation science aims to maximize the public health impact of interventions and reduce this research-practice gap by encouraging implementers and program creators to:

  • Examine barriers and facilitators to a practice being used
  • Pick strategies to work with facilitators and overcome barriers
  • Plan for sustainable implementation from the project start

Learn more at our trainings!

The BRIDGE Program is offering two paid training workshops in July 2025: the Foundational Implementation Science Bootcamp (July 14-16) and the Advanced Implementation Methods Workshop (July 17-18).
