A new analysis argues that implementation science training could improve how clinical trial findings translate into routine healthcare practice. The study, drawing on evidence from CRO workforce familiarity in Australia and New Zealand, found 56.7% reported familiarity with the concept, but few had used it in trials. The authors reported that more than 80% of respondents believe competency in implementation science will become essential to the clinical trial workforce. They also point to areas including trial design, recruitment strategies, and sustainment and scalability as potential entry points for earlier adoption. The analysis frames capacity building in contract research as a lever to reduce evidence-translation friction before and during clinical development.
