Biographical Sketch: Enola Proctor is the Shanti K. Khinduka Distinguished Professor at Brown School, Washington University in St. Louis. Her teaching and research are motivated by the question, how do we ensure that people receive the very best possible care? She studies the processes through which organizations and individual providers can adopt and deliver the most effective programs and interventions. Her research and training programs have been funded continuously by the National Institute of Mental Health since 1993. Currently she works on a five-year R01 study to conduct a multi-site randomized trial to test the ARC organizational implementation strategy in St. Louis community mental health clinics. Proctor leads several national initiatives to advance the science of dissemination and implementation research, including the NIMH funded Implementation Research Institute (IRI) which trains researchers from across the nation in implementation science for mental health. She also directs the Center for Dissemination and Implementation for the Institute for Public Health, and the Dissemination and Implementation Research Core (DIRC) of Washington University’s Institute for Clinical and Translational Science.
Proctor was a member of the National Advisory Council for the NIMH (2006-2010), and currently serves on an Institute of Medicine Committee on Developing Evidence-Based Standards for Psychosocial interventions for Mental Disorders. She has published several books, most recently Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health: Translating Science to Practice, with colleagues Ross Brownson and Graham Colditz (2012). In 2010, she was elected to the inaugural class of the American Academy of Social Work and Social Welfare and its Board of Directors (2010-11).
