Robin Peth-Pierce, MPA, is the Communications Director of the NIMH-funded Center on Implementation and Dissemination Science in States for Children, Adolescents and Families (IDEAS) (Hoagwood and McKay, PIs), as well as its predecessors, the NIMH-funded Advanced Center and Developing Center (Implementing Evidence-Based Practices For Children; PI Hoagwood, Co-I Olin).
She has collaborated with colleagues Drs. Hoagwood, McKay, Olin and Horwitz over the last two decades as a science writer on a variety of projects in the family support services area, and more fully integrating families into the research process, as well as projects focused on improving the quality of mental healthcare received by children and families in the U.S. These projects have ranged from developing clinical trial intervention materials (e.g. recruitment materials, advertisements) to writing and editing materials and manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals for a wide variety of interventions (e.g. STRONG MOM, Family-to-Family (F2F), The ROSE Project, and Reining in Anxiety).
Over the last two decades, her overall efforts have focused on supporting researchers at federal agencies, non-profits, and university research teams in their efforts to build a better science in child and family mental health services. She is particularly interested in translating the knowledge gains of the last decade in early child development into interventions that can be easily deployed in more accessible community settings, and where possible, by community health workers and laypersons, and family peer advocates. Prior to her work as a consultant to Columbia University and New York University, she consulted with the World Federation for Mental Health, writing easy-to-read materials on depression and anxiety, which were translated into over 12 languages. Prior to that, she was a Public Affairs Specialist at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), working on the public health education campaigns (i.e. Back to Sleep Safe Sleep campaign and the Milk Matters calcium education campaign. She began her career at NIH in 1993, when she was selected by the NIH Office of the Director as an at-large Presidential Management Fellow completing a two-year fellowship of rotations in science policy, communications, legislation and grants and contracts.
