Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Geoffrey Michael Curran's research focuses on implementation science, particularly the effectiveness of hybrid designs in disseminating and applying research findings within healthcare settings. He has investigated the role of external facilitation in implementing research findings and has authored foundational texts on effectiveness-implementation hybrid designs and research evaluation for dissemination. His work also extends to understanding vaccine hesitancy, examining factors such as race, ethnicity, trust, and fear, particularly in the context of COVID-19.
Curran has led federally funded projects aimed at optimizing the delivery of health interventions. One project, funded by the NIH/National Cancer Institute for $617,778, tests adaptive implementation strategies for obesity prevention practices in early care and education settings. Another NIH/National Cancer Institute grant, totaling $177,709, supports research on the sustainability of nutrition and physical activity interventions in childcare. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 43, 277 total publications, and 13,674 total citations, designating him as a highly cited researcher. He actively leads a research group and maintains a lab website, collaborating with researchers such as James P. Selig, Jennifer L. Vincenzo, Taren Swindle, and Pearl A. McElfish.
