Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Maegan Calvert's research focuses on understanding and improving interventions for individuals who have experienced trauma, particularly within the criminal justice system. Her work has investigated the effectiveness of exposure-based group therapy for incarcerated women with a history of sexual violence, with findings indicating persistent decreases in psychiatric symptoms following treatment. Calvert has also explored the neuroimaging correlates of psychological resilience through systematic reviews and meta-analyses, aiming to identify brain-based markers associated with coping mechanisms.

Her federally funded projects, totaling over $3.2 million, are primarily supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. These grants support her work in translational training in addiction, leveraging implementation science to enhance access to trauma treatment for incarcerated individuals with substance use disorders, and developing and testing innovative care pathways for screening and treating opioid use disorder and PTSD in jail settings. Calvert collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Melissa J. Zielinski, Tatiana Wolfe, Clint Kilts, and Keith Bush, on multiple publications.

Calvert has published on the transition of a neuroimaging research center to open and reproducible science, highlighting a commitment to transparency in research practices. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 6, 28 total publications, and 148 total citations.
