Research Programs & Labs

The purpose of the AIMS (Advancing Integrated Mental Health Solutions) Center is to inspire providers, researchers, and decision-makers to transform healthcare and improve patient outcomes. We accomplish this by translating and researching evidence-based approaches to behavioral health integration.

The NIMH-funded UW ALACRITY Center is an interdisciplinary team working to improve access to and use of evidence-based psychosocial interventions in non-traditional care settings. At the core of our Center’s approach is the belief that following a user-centered design approach creates services that meet the needs of the community and solve problems.

The Division of Population Health is dedicated to improving the health of the public by developing, testing, evaluating, and implementing effective behavioral health interventions across the entire spectrum of health care delivery.

The mission of the University of Washington Integrated Care Training Program (UW ICTP) is to improve the health of Washingtonians by preparing a workforce to advance effective, integrated behavioral health care. We believe there is no health without mental health and that by training psychiatrists and other health care providers in evidence-based integrated care, we will increase the access to effective mental health care across Washington State.

The Perinatal Mental Health & Substance Use Education, Research & Clinical Consultation (PERC) Center is working to increase access to quality and timely perinatal (conception through 1 year postpartum) behavioral health care through clinical care, training and workforce development activities, and implementing and testing care delivery models.

UW Global Mental Health develops, tests, and builds the capacity to deliver contextually-appropriate and sustainable models for mental health intervention with local and global partners. UW Global Mental Health is a joint effort of the Departments of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences and Global Health, in the UW Schools of Medicine and Public Health.

Training Programs & Fellowships

This year-long, employment-friendly program is for community psychiatric providers seeking additional training to deliver integrated care in community-based settings.

The goal of the Primary Care Psychiatry/Behavioral Health Integration Fellowship is to train physicians or clinical psychologists working at the interface of mental health and primary care who will become academic leaders in primary care / mental health integration research.

The Integrated Care Fellowship is a unique opportunity to learn how to provide integrated care through delivery of consultation to non-mental health settings (such as primary care), provision of telepsychiatry, and leadership to improve systems of care.
