In 2002, Dean L. Fixsen and Karen A. Blase founded the National Implementation Research Network (NIRN). The purpose was to study implementation as implementation, separate and apart from evidence-based interventions and other innovations and apart from diffusion and dissemination and technical assistance. Our goal was to identify, analyze, and develop the best available practice-based and research-based evidence regarding effective supports for the full and effective use of evidence-based programs and other innovations in typical human service settings.
