ABSTRACT For the past four years, the UW ALACRITY Center has served as a multidisciplinary incubator to find viable solutions for improving the implementation of clinical interventions and implementation strategies (CI/IS), using the Discover, Design and Build, Test Model to address challenges in CI/IS usability, appropriateness and engagement. In the past 4 years, the center Administrative Core served to create partnerships between different disciplines throughout the University of Washington, between researchers and community settings, and to mentor early-stage investigators in careers focused on the use of CI/IS in underserved settings. In these next five years, the Administrative Core, led by Drs. Lyon and Munson, will host a multidisciplinary steering committee, a science and policy board, and a stakeholder board that will advise the Center on research directions concerning CI/IS accessibility and effectiveness in the most common non-specialty settings for adults and youth, respectively: primary care and schools. The administrative core has the following aims: (1) Facilitate nimble, community-engaged translational research on the use of DDBT in the modification of clinical interventions/implementation strategies (CI/IS) in primary care and school settings; (2) Foster synergy among research disciplines and cores; (3) Request, review, and award pilot projects to multidisciplinary ESI teams; (4) Support of early-career investigators through a monthly mentoring meeting and grant writer’s bootcamp; (5) Evaluate Center progress in achieving goals and conduct strategic planning; and (6) Disseminate Center activities and products. Special attention will be given to supporting the careers of ESI who are from historically marginalized groups, and to teams who are truly multidisciplinary, such that the pilot studies will fully benefit the career of each lead investigator. Dr. Fortney, who is internationally known for his multidisciplinary research expertise and mentorship, will oversee the pilot program, and Dr. Areán, former UWAC director known for her expertise in multidisciplinary research and mentorship of ESI from historically marginalized populations will oversee the mentoring and grant writers bootcamp. .
