Get Involved

We partner with community organizations, health systems, businesses, funders, and academic collaborators to advance meaningful change in mental and behavioral health. Together, we can design and evaluate new solutions that improve access to care, strengthen the workforce, and enhance outcomes across diverse communities.

Mental and behavioral health challenges compounded by multimorbidity and substance misuse demand coordinated interdisciplinary approaches that bridge clinical care, community systems, and workforce development.

Whether you are a student, faculty member, healthcare professional, policymaker, or community partner, there are meaningful ways to engage with the Institute for Integrated Behavioral Health Research. Join us in advancing evidence-based solutions that strengthen behavioral health systems, expand workforce capacity, and improve access to care in underserved communities.

Institute Affiliates Program

The IIBHR's Affiliates Program formalizes relationships with researchers and other behavioral health professionals who wish to collaborate with Institute members and whose work is positioned to contribute to the Institute's mission in concrete ways. Affiliate appointments recognize a formal, non-employment relationship between IIBHR and distinguished external scholars, behavioral health professionals, and leaders who contribute to the Institute’s mission. Affiliate appointments do not constitute employment and confer no compensation or benefits. The Institute consists of Institute members, Adjunct External Affiliate Faculty, and Research Affiliates.

External Affiliate Faculty: Individuals holding full-time faculty appointments at accredited institutions or equivalent scholarly positions in research-intensive settings (e.g., senior industry researchers, health systems researchers, policy scholars).

Research Affiliate: External professionals or researchers contributing to Institute initiatives who may not hold faculty rank (e.g., industry scientists, data scientists, clinicians, policy leaders, think tank researchers).

We will be formalizing an Industry Affiliates Program soon!
