Research & Translational Activities

The goals of the UPENN Collaborative are to:

• Conduct state-of-the-art research to identify barriers and strategies for promoting community integration, full participation, and recovery of persons with serious mental illnesses, and
• Translate these findings to foster the development of cutting-edge policies and innovative programs that will promote equal participation at every level of society.

We recognize that our research needs to be relevant, both in the questions that are asked and the way information is translated for use by a wide range of audiences.

Collaboration with our consumer and provider partners helps us ensure that our research questions are addressing the major issues of importance to key stakeholders (consumers, family members, advocates, service providers, administrators, researchers, and policy makers) and are communicated in a way that is straightforward and meaningful.

*Practical implementation of our research findings is accomplished through the Collaboratives Translational Activities, which include: training, technical assistance and information dissemination.
