​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 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).

Anna Maw, MD, MS

Associate Professor

Dr. Maw is an Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Hospital Medicine at University of Colorado. She is fellowship trained in health services research and implementation science. She completed the SCORE (Sub-specialists Clinical Outcomes Research) fellowship at ACCORDS and the National Heart, Lung, Blood Institute (NHLBI) IMPlementation to Achieve Clinical Transformation (IMPACT) K12. Dr. Maw’s research focuses on implementation and pragmatic evaluation of new technology used in clinical settings to promote effective and equitable use. 

Lilia Cervantes, MD, MSCS

Dr. Cervantes is the Director of Immigrant Health and an Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Dr. Cervantes led nationally recognized research demonstrating the deep disparities faced by undocumented individuals living with kidney failure who rely on emergency dialysis (dialysis only after presenting critically ill). Her work catalyzed the promulgation of regulation allowing undocumented immigrants in Colorado to receive outpatient dialysis. Following this defining experience, Dr. Cervantes' work has focused on eliminating structural racism to reduce kidney health disparities through community-based participatory research, mixed methods, and community-based clinical trials.
