About National Institute for Behavioral Health

The National Institute for Behavioral Health (NIBH) is an independent research and technical assistance institute dedicated to advancing the field of behavioral health through rigorous evaluation, workforce development, and evidence-informed program design. Rooted in a commitment to community impact, NIBH partners with treatment providers, recovery organizations, academic institutions, funders, and government agencies to develop sustainable solutions that address mental health and substance use challenges across the continuum of care. Our team brings decades of experience in clinical research, program implementation, training, and system transformation—ensuring that the strategies we design are not only grounded in science but tailored to the real-world needs of organizations and the communities they serve. NIBH offers comprehensive services including research and evaluation, strategic planning, curriculum development, training and certification, outcomes tracking, and capacity building. From grassroots nonprofits to statewide systems of care, we help behavioral health organizations measure what matters, improve service delivery, and expand access to quality care. With a focus on innovation, equity, and long-term recovery outcomes, NIBH serves as a bridge between behavioral health science and everyday practice—translating research into action and helping communities thrive.
