Translating health research into real-world impact: innovations, implementation, and lessons from practice

We invite work that demonstrates how research is:

  • Translated into clinical practice, policy, or health system change
  • Implemented effectively in real-world settings, particularly in resource-diverse environments
  • Adapted to address local challenges and contextual realities
    generating measurable improvements in patient outcomes, access, equity, or system performance

Posters offer an opportunity to share practical learning, highlight implementation journeys, and foster collaboration across clinicians, researchers, policymakers, and healthcare leaders.
