She has been serving as an Implementation Science Subject Matter Expert for the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health since 2021. Dr. Rabin’s research focuses on improving population health outcomes in real-world clinical and public health settings through increasing the equitable reach, adoption, implementation, and sustained use of evidence-based interventions. She does this through the development of models, methods, and measures for dissemination and implementation science and their application across diverse topic areas, populations, and settings in order to demonstrate their wide utility and broad generalizability. She co-led the effort to develop the D&I Workspace on the NIH Grid-enabled Measures Database, creating a platform for sharing IS measures and their metadata broadly. Dr. Rabin also has extensive expertise in developing and implementing novel and diverse capacity building approaches for dissemination and implementation research including the D&I Models in Health webtool and serves as the Co-Director for the ACCORDS D&I Science Certificate Program at the University of Colorado.
