Nikki is a Senior Research Coordinator at the IDEAS Center. She holds a Master's Degree in Applied Child Development from Tufts University and has experience in academic, mental health, school, and healthcare settings, both conducting research and providing direct services to children and families.
Nikki works on a variety of research and evaluation projects at the IDEAS Center, and assists with grant preparation and submission. She currently works as the Project Manager for the Evidence Based Treatment Dissemination Center (EBTDC), a New York State initiative to train mental health practitioners across the state in evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for youth. She previously worked with Dr. Serene Olin on the evaluation of a curriculum-based training program for family peer advocates, parents who provide peer-to-peer support for other parents/caregivers of children with mental health needs, in community-based and school settings. Nikki also worked with the research team on the National Collaborative for Innovation in Quality Measurement (NCINQ) consortium for Implementing and Improving (NCINQ II) behavioral health care for youth and families. This continuation of one of the original seven AHRQ-CMS CHIPRA Centers of Excellence in the AHRQ Pediatric Quality Measures Program (PQMP) focuses on antipsychotic medication management and depression care.
Prior to joining the IDEAS Center, Nikki worked as the Research Coordinator for Dr. Gregory Aarons at the University of California, San Diego on several large, multi-site NIMH-funded studies on the implementation and dissemination of evidence-based practices in mental health and social service settings.
