Successful implementation and sustainment of interventions is heavily influence by context. Yet the complexity and dynamic nature of context make it challenging to connect and translate findings across implementation efforts, limiting potential replicability and utility. The Inventory of Factors Affecting Successful Implementation and Sustainment (IFASIS) was developed to be a pragmatic, quantitative, organizational-level assessment of contextual factors. The intention is to characterize context with a measure that may enhance replication and reproducibility of findings beyond single implementation case studies. 

This talk from the CTN Translation and Implementation (T&I) SIG will provide an overview of the development and validation of the IFASIS, as well as examples of its practical utility.
