About the Amsterdam Center for Implementation Science
The Amsterdam Center for Implementation Science (AmsCIS) envisions effective and efficient integration and embedding of evidence-based practices in Public Health through evidence-informed implementation, to ultimately achieve better health(care) for all.
Our vision
To realize this vision, AmsCIS will see it as its mission to:
- Provide public health researchers with knowledge, skills, and tools about implementing research-based knowledge into practice and policy;
- Increase awareness among public health researchers of the importance of effective implementation and sustainable uptake of research-based knowledge into practice and policy throughout the research lifecycle;
- Contribute to state-of-the art research in the field of Implementation Science and become a leading research center on implementation science in Europe.
AmsCIS in relation to Amsterdam Public Health (APH) research institute
AmsCIS is embedded in Amsterdam Public Health (APH) research institute. As a research institute of Amsterdam UMC, VU and UvA, APH is an important link between clinical care, scientific research and the extramural care practice and policy in the Amsterdam metropolitan area, as well as beyond Amsterdam (both national and international). Much of the research that is carried out within the institute potentially has a direct impact on public health practice including quality of care, policy, and society.
