Biostatistics (BIS) Specialization in Implementation and Prevention Science Methods Master of Science (MS) and PhD programs

We are excited to inform you that our new Yale specialization in Implementation and Prevention Science Methods for our Biostatistics (BIS) M.S. and PhD programs were recently approved and are available for enrollment by students this fall, 2020. Our first PhD student has already enrolled!

Although other institutions in the U.S. and abroad offer various certificate programs, masters programs, and at least one other PhD program in implementation science, these are the first programs to provide rigorous training in implementation and prevention science methods, including training in the development of new methods to advance the field. Very important but quite different, other programs focus on the practice of implementation science and are targeted to those with subject matter expertise, for example, in mental health or cancer prevention.
