Antonio Morgan-Lopez

Antonio Morgan-Lopez’s work as principal investigator for multiple National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants has focused on advances in measurement and analysis in behavioral drug and alcoholism treatment contexts. His complementary work focuses on causal inference in non-experimental data, mostly as it relates to the evaluation of substance use, mental health, and youth violence prevention programs.

In addition to the work he has led, he has served as a co-investigator, lead methodologist or director of evaluation on dozens of federally-funded grants and contracts from multiple institutes within NIH, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), U.S. Department of Defense, and the National Institute of Justice, among other federal clients.

Dr. Morgan-Lopez returned to RTI in 2012 after serving as Associate Professor in the L.L. Thurstone Quantitative Methods Laboratory in the Department of Psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He currently serves as Associate Editor for the journal Prevention Science and Editor-at-Large for Methodology and Statistics for the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. He is a standing member of the NIMH Evaluation of Mental Health Interventions (EMHI) study section in addition to regular and ad hoc service to multiple NIH Study Sections since 2008.
