About the Institute
Ohio State’s leadership in the evidence-based practice movement began in 2011 with the Center for Transdisciplinary Evidence-based Practice (CTEP), which led efforts to disseminate and teach best practices to healthcare professionals and academics. CTEP set the foundation for impact that expanded in 2016, when College of Nursing Dean Bernadette Mazurek Melnyk secured a $6.5 million gift to create the Helene Fuld Health Trust National Institute for Evidence-based Practice in Nursing and Healthcare. The Fuld National Institute for EBP broadened its reach as a national and international advocate and partner for nurturing evidence-based practice (EBP) cultures that pursued the “quintuple aim” of healthcare: improving the patient experience, enhancing population health, reducing costs, addressing healthcare professional burnout and job satisfaction and advancing health equity.
In 2025, the Fuld National Institute for EBP evolved its offerings to meet identified needs of our healthcare partners. This included a renewed focus on evidence-supported approaches to implementation and sustainability of best practices among interdisciplinary healthcare teams. Leveraging key outputs from the field of implementation science, the Fuld Institute remains committed to creating and sustaining healthcare environments that align practices with the best available evidence to improve patient, clinician and health system outcomes.
