    Mission & Vision


    Mission

    We use partner engagement and pragmatic D&I models, methods and measures to:

    • Build D&I capacity among scientists, healthcare settings and communities;
    • Develop, test and disseminate sustainable, generalizable and equitable solutions to real world health problems; and
    • Consult with and train those interested in applying D&I methods

    Vision

    We aspire to advance D&I science and application by:

    • Conducting and collaborating on cutting edge T3-T4 pragmatic research on: designing for dissemination and equity, shared decision making, planning for and evaluating reach, implementation, and sustainability, and the adaptation of interventions.
    • Helping increase the success of CU Anschutz researchers in increasing funding, publications and impact ​​
    • Providing high quality training and educational opportunities including a D&I certificate program, courses, workshops, conferences, mentorship, and web based learning
    • Developing, testing and using interactive on-line resources and support for patients and community groups, medical and public health students, trainees and faculty researchers
    • Creating collaborative learning partnerships with diverse clinical and community settings to translate research into practice more quickly and successfully

    Studts

    Christina Studts PhD, MSPH, LCSW

    Implementation Scientist, Dissemination & Implementation Science Program Associate Professor, Pediatrics
    Pediatrics
    ​Dr. Studts’ mixed methods research focuses on the systematic adaptation and implementation of evidence-based health promotion interventions with underserved populations. She has a strong interest in increasing access to interventions enhancing parenting skills and parent-child relationships, particularly those that help prevent or reduce the effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). In addition to leading her own program of community-engaged research, Dr. Studts serves as an implementation scientist on teams studying implementation in a variety of topical areas, including lung cancer screening, nutrition and physical activity practices in child care settings, sexual risk reduction, diagnostic testing after failed newborn hearing screens, and others.
    Monica PerezJolles

    Monica Perez Jolles Phd, MA

    Associate Professor, Department of Pediatrics, University of Colorado School of Medicine
    Mónica Pérez Jolles, PhD, MA, joined ACCORDS D&I in May 2022 as an Associate Professor. She is a health services and implementation scientist seeking to close the health gap through team-based science. Her focus brings together scientists from various backgrounds to support Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in their efforts to implement complex interventions; particularly family-centered and trauma-informed care. Projects include a PCORI-funded Eugene Engagement Award developing a toolkit to increase the capacity of behavioral health care providers to engage in Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR), and a randomized CER study aimed at increasing parent activation skills for Latinx parents with children in need of mental health services. Currently, she leads a NIMH-funded pilot study using implementation mapping to refine a multi-faceted implementation strategy supporting pediatric screenings addressing toxic stress and trauma in community-based primary care settings, using a stepped-wedge pragmatic trial. Dr Pérez Jolles research has been recognized nationally as she has been the recipient of two leading fellowships supported by the National Institutes of Health. That is, the CHIPS (Child Intervention, Prevention, and Services) Training Institute, and the Implementation Research Institute (R25 MH08091606).
