Abstract: Implementation research plays a vital role in translating evidence-based interventions into real-world settings and addressing the unique challenges faced by aging populations. This editorial provides an overview of a Research Topic containing 21 manuscripts aimed at fostering evidence-based practices in the field of implementation research and exploring strategies to improve the delivery and effectiveness of interventions for older adults. The articles within the Research Topic centered around four themes: (1) application of implementation theories, models, and frameworks; (2) implementation strategies; (3) evaluation of interventions and their implementation; and (4) cross-cutting issues. Collectively, this collection of manuscripts underscores the importance of integrating dissemination and implementation considerations across all stages of an intervention, from its development through implementation and evaluation.
