Demand for building competencies in implementation research (IR) outstrips supply of training programs, calling for a paradigm shift. We used a bootstrap approach to leverage external resources and create IR capacity through a novel 2-day training for faculty scientists across the four Texas Clinical & Translational Science Awards (CTSAs). The Workshop combined internal and external expertise, targeted nationally established IR competencies, incorporated new National Institutes of Health/National Cancer Institute OpenAccess online resources, employed well-known adult education principles, and measured impact. CTSA leader buy-in was reflected in financial support. Evaluation showed increased self-reported IR competency; statewide initiatives expanded. The project demonstrated that, even with limited onsite expertise, it was possible to bootstrap resources and build IR capacity de novo in the CTSA community.
对实施研究（IR）能力建设的需求超过了培训项目的供应，这就需要范式转变。我们采用了一种自助式方法来利用外部资源，并通过为德克萨斯州四个临床与转化科学奖（CTSA）的教员科学家举办为期两天的新颖培训来创建IR能力。该研讨会结合了内部和外部专业知识，针对全国既定的IR能力，纳入了美国国立卫生研究院/国立癌症研究所新的开放获取在线资源，运用了著名的成人教育原则，并评估了影响。CTSA领导者的支持体现在财政支持上。评估显示自我报告的IR能力有所提高；全州范围的举措得到了扩展。该项目表明，即使现场专业知识有限，也有可能在CTSA社区中自助获取资源并从头建设IR能力。
