Bryan Hartzler, PhD

In nearly two decades at UW, Dr. Hartzler’s work has principally focused on the dissemination and implementation of empirically-supported health services for persons with substance use disorders. His scientific and services efforts to date include local, regional, national, and international collaborations, encompassing federally-funded work with diverse community-based settings (i.e., addiction care, mental health, primary and specialty medical care, criminal justice, HIV care, schools), including those affiliated with the NIDA Clinical Trials Network.  In 2017, Dr. Hartzler was awarded a SAMHSA grant to direct the Northwest Addiction Technology Transfer Center (Northwest ATTC), one of 10 regional centers in the national ATTC network. The Northwest ATTC supports the addiction workforce in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington via provision of universal, targeted and intensive technical assistance for regional treatment and healthcare organizations and their personnel.  His broader direction of the UW Center for Advancing Addiction Health Services (CAAHS) encompasses the work of the Northwest ATTC, its regional contribution to the national Opioid Response Network, a host of externally-sponsored implementation services projects, and contributions to NIH-funded health services research.  In professional endeavors that span a science-to-service continuum, Dr. Hartzler seeks to promote adoption and implementation of useful treatment and recovery practices in community settings where they may benefit persons with substance use disorders.
