We are in the midst of strategic planning for the Implementation Science Center. Thank you to those of you who have provided feedback. For me, one of the questions I keep returning to during this process is a more basic question: What is a Center?

This past annual meeting in December, I attended one on mechanisms led by Cara Lewis, Byron Powell, and Brian Mittman. I have struggled with the turn towards mechanisms in implementation science. I know I need to do a deep dive into the area but have not yet had the opportunity to take that dive. The coffee chat was a great way to enter the conversation.
