Dr. Annie Collier is a research-based clinical psychologist with an emphasis on health psychology. At the beginning of her career, she contributed to the fields of psychosocial oncology and psychoneuroimmunology. After living overseas, her professional focus changed to behavioral health and wellness program development, implementation, and evaluation of Indigenous people in under-resourced areas. She relies on co-design with community-based participatory research models. Her specializations include mental health and substance abuse, digital health technologies, art, and positive psychological interventions, science-informed art exhibitions for public health education, and capacity building with Indigenous and under-resourced professionals, students, and trainees. She is the PI and co-PI of several NIH and NSF-funded studies with American Indian and Alaska Native people.
