Monica Jolles, PhD, serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus School of Medicine. Her academic work centers on bridging implementation science with pediatric healthcare delivery to address systemic health disparities, particularly through community-engaged research methodologies.

Her research portfolio demonstrates deep expertise in implementation science frameworks (RE-AIM, PRISM) applied to pediatric mental health, obesity prevention in Hispanic communities, and Adverse Childhood Experiences screening. She specializes in co-creation approaches that integrate community stakeholders into research design, with strong emphasis on health equity for marginalized populations including LGBTQ+ youth and low-income families. Current projects examine organizational dynamics in child welfare systems and pandemic recovery in aging services.

Analysis of her 2022-2024 publications reveals consistent methodological innovation in measuring implementation fidelity while centering equity considerations. Her work frequently appears in high-impact journals across public health, pediatrics, and implementation science domains, demonstrating transdisciplinary impact through collaborations with healthcare systems, community organizations, and federal agencies.
