The Child and Family Evidence-Based Practice Consortium invites submission of abstracts proposing manuscripts for a special issue of Global Implementation Research and Applications (GIRA), the journal of the Global Implementation Society. This special issue will address the following question:
Amidst rapid social change, is implementation science shaping innovations and adaptations in child and family serving systems and services?
Through an implementation lens, this 2022 GIRA special issue explores how the systems, policies, and practices supporting children and their families are adapting to rapid and often intense challenges of social change. While evidence and implementation science should inform any adaptation, the amount, intensity, and pace of change may overwhelm our best intentions. Across disciplines, sectors, settings, and global regions, this special issue provides an opportunity to critically explore whether and how implementation science is informing policy and practice innovations and adaptations in child and family serving systems amidst such rapid and varied change.
Manuscript proposal abstracts of 500 words or less are due by Aug. 31, 2021.
