Biography:
Kimberly Eaton Hoagwood, Ph.D., is Cathy and Stephen Graham Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the New York University School of Medicine in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. She served as Vice Chair for Research in the Department from 2012 to 2019. She holds a joint position with the Division of Children, Youth and Families at the New York State Office of Mental Health as a Research Scientist. Previously she was Professor of Clinical Psychology and Psychiatry at Columbia University, specializing in children’s mental health services research. Before coming to New York, she was Associate Director for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Research with the National Institute of Mental Health, and oversaw the entire portfolio of research on children and adolescents, spanning basic to applied studies. This gave her a broad perspective on research gaps and the theoretical and methodological connections that exist among different areas of science. In 2000 she served as the Scientific Editor for the Office of the Surgeon General’s National Action Agenda on Children’s Mental Health with Dr. David Satcher. She was instrumental in crafting NIMH’s Blueprint for Change report, which forecasted the emergence of the field of implementation and dissemination research, and she also contributed to the 1999 Surgeon General’s Report on Mental Health.
In 2012, she was awarded the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) Dissemination and Implementation Science SIG Achievement Award. In 2015, she received the Carl A. Taube Award from the Mental Health Section of the American Public Health Association (APHA). She has co-authored over 300 peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters, and monographs, and has been appointed to two National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine committees: Committee to Evaluate the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Disability Program for Children with Mental Disorders and the Forum for Children's Well-Being, where she currently co-chairs the Collaborative on Pediatric Vital Signs for the Health and Well-Being of Children.
Dr. Hoagwood is Director of the Center for Implementation-Dissemination of Evidence-Based Practices among States, known as IDEAS, an ALACRITY Center funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (P50MH113662) (www.ideas4kidsmentalhealth.org). This work builds on two prior NIMH-funded centers, as well as numerous other federal grants and state contracts, all focused on improving children’s mental health services in state systems. Her specific research interests focus on parent activation in children’s health services, quality measurement in children’s behavioral health, and improving state policies that affect child and family services through the use of scientific evidence.
