Research

The Research Division is a community-based research center that is embedded within MHMR. The division has been involved in developing and leading evaluations and collecting data for approximately 20 years for federal grant-funded projects, including the National Institute of Mental Health, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the National Institute on Substance Abuse.

The Division has a proven track record in conducting longitudinal studies of vulnerable populations. It consistently achieves follow-up rates exceeding 90% even at the longest timeframes (up to 36 months), and is recognized as a national leader of study participants.

Its high follow-up rates are attributed largely to the strong rapport that evaluators build with study participants. The Division has won two Honoring Excellence in Evaluation awards from SAMHSA.
