Project Reviews
Build more impactful initiatives with expert guidance
Our project reviews help funders and project teams ensure their implementation science and practice initiatives are well-designed, pragmatic, and can inform sustainability, scale, and impact.
Through our project review service, we provide independent expert insights and recommendations to strengthen the implementation aspects of initiatives.
If you’re a funder…
We can help you build confidence that your funded projects are grounded in implementation best practices.
If you’re a project team…
We can provide actionable feedback and resources to help you achieve your goals – from maximizing impact to facilitating scale up.
🌟 Looking to elevate your project proposals or implementation plans?
Set up implementation projects for success
Even the most promising initiatives can struggle with high-quality implementation. Our reviews help funders and project teams better position projects to achieve meaningful implementation outcomes—and to inform future directions related to sustainability, spread, and policy.
Funders often aren’t sure how they can support their funded projects to use implementation science and maximize impact, or they don’t have the internal capacity to make it happen.
Project teams are often looking for guidance on how best to apply implementation science as more funders prioritize implementation science and impact.
What is the most appropriate framework?
How can theories, models, and frameworks be combined?
Which implementation outcomes should be measured?
What tools and resources are the most relevant?
How can they address contextual factors?
How will they consider adaptations?
💡Common questions teams have on how to infuse their work with implementation science include:
We can help by providing guidance that matches your stage and needs
We support projects at any stage—pre-funding, newly funded, and those with well-developed plans—to:
Clarify goals and outcomes
Reflect on the feasibility of plans
Identify relevant theories, models, and frameworks
Select, define, and enact implementation strategies
Determine practical methods of monitoring implementation quality and assessing outcomes
Plan to assess and address contextual challenges
Consider how to make and track adaptations
Outline key implementation supports
What this looks like
Insightful
Our project review service is largely driven by people’s need for a second (or third!) set of eyes on their plans.
Collaborative
We provide expert feedback in different ways, by reviewing project materials and meeting with the project team to discuss their areas of concern and specific ways of addressing these.
Strategic
When a funder initiates project reviews, we provide a summary of feedback across all reviewed projects to help support institutional quality improvement efforts for current and future funding cycles.
Experience that elevates your work
This service builds on TCI’s extensive experience supporting over 200 implementation initiatives. We’ve advised organizations and initiatives at all stages—helping shape, strengthen, and support projects for high-quality implementation.
Here’s a recent example of our project review service in action:
🌐 We supported a national network focused on improving access to evidence-based solutions for children and families by conducting reviews for 11 of their funded project teams.
🔍 We examined key project documentation to assess each team’s implementation approach and identify opportunities to strengthen feasibility and sustainability.
📈 We then compiled recommendations into a written report and met with teams to discuss the feedback, answer questions, and explore practical next steps for implementation & scale-up.
The right support for your project
Deep Implementation Expertise
With experience across hundreds of projects, our team brings both the strategic and practical insight needed to improve implementation-focused work.
Aligned to Your Needs
Our reviews are clear, focused, and aligned with your project’s goals and phase of development.
Led by Respected Leaders in the Field
Reviews are overseen by TCI’s senior team — experts in applied implementation science with a proven record of strengthening implementation design.
Limited
reviews available
We know what it takes to move from evidence to action—and we’ll help you strengthen your project to help you reach your outcomes!
Because our team provides hands-on, dedicated support, we take on a limited number of project reviews each year.
Availability
Currently accepting 1–2 more project reviews for this year.

Ready to move forward?
Currently, we offer reviews for:
Implementation practice projects
(i.e., projects that are seeking to implement initiatives within organizations, communities, and systems and don’t have any research components)
Implementation research projects that are highly applied
(e.g., are conducted in partnership with practitioners, will have an impact on service delivery and/or policy)
