What is the Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD) / University of Melbourne Implementation Science e-Hub?
Advancing knowledge and practice, improving global health.
Our e-Hub is a comprehensive online learning space for knowledge and skill development in implementation research, particularly in relation to chronic and non-communicable diseases.
Our e-Hub is ideal for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners at any stage in their career, from anywhere in the world with an interest in implementation science as an essential aspect of bridging the evidence-to-practice gap. It is an interactive online platform available to all, for free.
Researchers from diverse disciplines can learn, share experience and self-manage their career development, accessing international lectures and relevant case studies.
Free resources and learning aids include:
- Self-directed training programmes
- Evidence summaries
- Interactive learning tools
- Specially curated index of international resources
Who should use the e-Hub?
- Anyone interested in improving their knowledge of implementation research, especially those working in the prevention and management of non-communicable diseases, or in low-resource settings
- Researchers at any stage of their career, from any part of the world
- Healthcare professionals
- Public health professionals
- Policymakers
- Policy change and healthcare advocates
- Students and graduates of public health, global health, or other related subjects
- Alumni of the Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases Implementation Science Schools or Workshops
Who created the e-Hub and who writes the content?
The need for the e-Hub was identified through discussions between Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD) staff and faculty members of our Implementation Science Schools.
Development and improvement of our e-Hub is continuous, with updates added as the field of implementation science evolves and is overseen by a group of global implementation science experts.
Who funds the e-Hub?
The e-Hub is supported by the Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD) through a funding agreement with the University of Melbourne and the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre on Implementation Research for Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases.
