Implementation Science Core:

The JHU CFAR IS CORE, co-directed by Dr. Sheree Schwartz and Dr. Stefan Baral, was founded in 2021 to advance JHU’s growth and leadership in the Implementation Science space. The JHU IS Core has evolved from its initial inception as the CFAR Implementation Science Working Group led by Dr. Stefan Baral, Dr. Melissa-Davey Rothwell and Dr. Larry Chang, followed by the Implementation Science Interest Group (ISIG) led by Dr. Schwartz and Dr. Laura Beres. The IS Core continues to bring together a community of HIV researchers committed to conducting, advancing and/or newly engaging in implementation science research in the US and globally.  


Research of our core faculty and the faculty we serve primarily focuses on application of implementation science frameworks and research methodologies within HIV focused research  in the US and globally. 

Mission and Goals:

The mission of the JHU CFAR Implementation Science Core is to support implementation science training, mentorship and skill acquisition, and to facilitate the practical application of implementation science for JHU HIV researchers. We aim to have a broad impact on conceptualization and innovation in implementation science training, methodologies and scholarship at JHU and in the implementation science research and provide mentorship, scientific guidance and career development in HIV related implementation research. Our faculty represent individuals across career stages endeavoring to increase knowledge of best practices and evolving methodologies in implementation science across CFAR investigators.

We strive to achieve these goals through:

  1. Resource Development including grant review, targeted events, monthly meetings to foster knowledge sharing and on-line repositories and libraries
  2. Promoting inter, intra and extra CFAR and JHU networking, collaboration and synergies

Consultation Services:

We provide consultation services to upcoming JHU investigators and provide support to students, faculty and staff in undertaking implementation science research and applying robust methodologies for their research question. 
We also offer facilitation of internal and external grant review. Please contact Lipin Lukose (llukose2@jh.edu) to request a review or complete the google form below.
Appointments can be booked by filling out the form . We will reach out to you as per the availability of our expert faculty.

Our Initiatives:

We run the Implementation Science Monthly Rounds (ISMR), highlighting work and implementation science methodologies to the JHU HIV IS community. We also run a HIV Implementation science fellowship as part of the Hopkins Hub (formerly MACC+ Hub) and support the Implementation Science Student Working Group.
