Laura Damschroder independently collaborates on many implementation projects. She is also a research Investigator with the Veterans Affairs (VA) Ann Arbor Center for Clinical Management Research and Principal Investigator of the Maintaining Implementation through Dynamic Adaptations (MIDAS) QUERI program. She is a researcher embedded within the VA’s healthcare system focusing on translating evidence-based practices into routine clinical care. Ms. Damschroder is an international leader in advancing the science of implementation and is lead developer of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). This framework is one of the most widely cited papers in implementation science (visit www.CFIRGuide.org). She has been a visiting scholar to many institutions around the world, has led national workshops, and actively mentors researchers interested in conducting implementation research. Laura loves to travel, kayak, ride horses and spend time with friends and family.
