Fiscal Year 2019 (FY19) was a strong year for the Center. We are grateful to the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health (DMH) for its support of the University of Massachusetts Medical School’s (UMMS) DMH Research Center of Excellence, the Implementation Science and Practice Advances Research Center (iSPARC). We continue to leverage the DMH investment to support DMH and its stakeholders in rapidly translating findings from mental health services and implementation research into best practices for individuals with lived experience and their families across our great Commonwealth, particularly those from underrepresented groups.
