Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR)

This image is a diagram adapted from the updated The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). The CFIR is a comprehensive framework that provides a structure for understanding and analyzing contextual factors. The diagram consists of five core domains, which we have adapted to align with our audience of implementation professionals.
