Per Nilsen (born April 8 1960) is a Swedish professor and author. He has written substantially within the field of Implementation research as an academic and has written several music biographies, including several books focusing on Iggy Pop and The Stooges.[1]

Nilsen studied systems development at Linköping University in 2001-2002, which led to a career as a researcher. He became a doctoral student in 2003 at the medical faculty at Linköping University and in 2006 he defended his PhD thesis on injury prevention work, whereupon he received the title of doctor of medicine. He became associate professor in 2008 and professor in 2014 in social medicine and public health sciences, with a particular focus on implementation.[2]

The scope of Nilsen's research is broad, but since 2010 has had a focus on implementation science, with issues concerning the uptake and use of research and evidence in healthcare and in society at large. In 2015, Nilsen conducted a systematic review of the theories and methods underlying the practice of implementation science; his methods were later adopted by OECD researchers seeking to apply implementation science to the field of education.[3] He is a prolific researcher with over 200 peer-reviewed articles and several books in Swedish and English in this field. He also teaches doctoral students a course in scientific writing.[2] Nilsen has many national and international collaborations and often speaks at conferences and courses. He has assignments for the Swedish Research Council, Sweden's largest government research financier, [4] and is a board member of Forte, a research council that funds research on people's health, working life and welfare [5]

Prior to becoming a researcher, Nilsen worked for fifteen years as a consultant as well as an author of music biographies.[2]
