Background and Interests
Dr. Beveridge is interested in developing, implementing, and evaluating academic and community mental health partnerships that facilitate the effective dissemination and implementation of science-based mental health care. His past work utilized a social-contextual approach to explore how collaborative relationships and cognitive appraisals relate to successful problem-solving and learning in married couples and parent-child dyads. This research has informed his current work that emphasizes a transactional flow of information in which scientists, community administrators, community clinicians, and family members work together to successfully implement EBPs in community settings. His collaborative approach to dissemination and implementation of science in the community is consistent with a knowledge utilization framework that capitalizes on unique expertise from community stakeholders that informs laboratory treatment development and treatment implementation. This method contrasts a unidirectional top-down model of dissemination that does not maximize the value of community, clinical, and laboratory collaborations that can produce more potent, implementable treatments for society.
Dr. Beveridge is working with national clinical science leaders to develop training models for students that emphasize continuity among the broad spectrum of intervention research and clinical activities in the community. Specifically, he is a member of the Delaware Project leadership committee, a project that he co-chaired, focused on the integration of community clinical training with traditional laboratory research (www.delawareproject.org).
Additionally, he is the co-founder and Director of the University of Delaware’s Center for Training, Evaluation, and Community Collaboration (C-TECC ).This Center allows graduate and undergraduate students to collaborate with community partners on several large dissemination and implementation efforts within the State of Delaware. Students are trained to plan, train and implement, and evaluate the effectiveness, uptake, sustainability, and community satisfaction of Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC), Portland Identification and Early Referral (PIER), and the Global Appraisal of Individual Needs (GAIN), in community settings.

Dr. Fowles’ work centers on bridging the science-to-service gap through translational clinical science and the dissemination and implementation (D&I) of Evidence-Based Practices (EBP). As Director of the Psychological Services Training Center (PSTC), he trains students as clinicians, supervisors, and system-designers. This work coincides with Dr. Fowles role in establishing the Delaware Project and its vision for training the next generation of clinical scientists (see www.delawareproject.org). This vision is realized at the PSTC in a variety of ways including 1) the implementation of a specialty practica in EBP, 2) the investigation and piloting of EBPs in preparation for community implementation, 3) innovative problem-based learning like HealthCare Theatre, and 4) the building of interdisciplinary relationships with partners within the University (e.g., Nurse-Managed Healthcare, Employee Assistance) as well as outside the University (e.g., Delaware Psychological Association, Division of Prevention and Behavioral Health Services, Delaware Mental Health Association). Dr. Fowles also serves as Associate Director of the Center for Training, Evaluation, and Community Collaboration (C-TECC). Dr. Fowles co-founded C-TECC to create a vehicle to maximize community training, partnerships, problem-solving around dissemination and implementation, and planning for sustainability. In these complimentary roles, Dr. Fowles works on improving science-based clinical services and service networks at every level.
