Abstract and Keywords
Interdisciplinarity would benefit from an underpinning discipline—integration and implementation sciences (I2S). This would act as a repository of concepts, methods, and case studies in three domains: (1) synthesizing disciplinary and stakeholder knowledge, (2) understanding and managing diverse unknowns, and (3) providing integrated research support for policy and practice change. Useful lessons about other functions of I2S can be drawn from the discipline of statistics and include (1) delivering a conduit to transfer practices between different areas of application, (2) developing different levels of expertise, and (3) providing pathways for building capacity. Developing a new discipline needs to be a joint exercise by those who would be its members.
Keywords: integration, implementation, knowledge synthesis, unknowns, change, I2S, repository
Gabriele Bammer is developing the new discipline of integration and implementation sciences (I2S) to improve research strengths for tackling complex real-world problems. She is a professor in the Research School of Population Health at the Australian National University (ANU), an ANU Public Policy Fellow, and an inaugural Fulbright New Century Scholar alumna and held a visiting appointment at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government from 2001 to 2014. She coconvenes (with Michael Smithson) Ignorance!, an edX massive open online course (MOOC).
