- coordinating the National Registry of Evidence-based Practices and Programs (NREPP) review process for children’s mental health programs (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration [SAMHSA] in cooperation with MANILA Consulting Group),
- a qualitative analysis of the “craft of implementation” from the perspectives of implementers, users, developers, and funders (SAMHSA),
- an assessment of factors contributing to implementation of systems of care nationally (SAMHSA in cooperation with ORC Macro; National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research [NIDDR]),
- an assessment of the capacity of purveyors to help implementation sites adopt and adapt their evidence-based programs.(SAMHSA, Center for Diesease Control),
- an analysis of the effects of implementing evidence-based practices in a child caring agency (Children’s Home Society of Florida),
- implementation research efforts in conjunction with Florida’s School-Wide Positive Behavior Support initiatives,
