Large - scale transformation relies on the coordinated action of multiple organizations to facilitate system change. However, interorganizational relationships are often overlooked in implementation science (IS) models, theories and frameworks (MTFs). Other fields may be able to provide MTFs that complement IS MTFs, and that enhance our understanding of interorganizational relationships. We present a model of how the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) can be used alongside MTFs from interorganizational science to create an enhanced CFIR for studying interorganizational action in large-scale transformation. To develop this model, we reviewed the literature for relevant organizational and interorganizational MTFs, and mapped these to relevant components of the CFIR. We identified two relevant interorganizational MTFs, and mapped these to the components of the CFIR that refer to any networking within or outside of the organization. This expanded model of CFIR draws on MTFs from interorganizational science, demonstrates how IS MTFs can benefit from MTFs in other fields.
