About Nicole M Marlow
Dr. Marlow joined the Department of Health Services Research, Management and Policy in 2014. She received her Ph.D. in Health and Rehabilitation Science, Health Services Concentration, from the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) in 2013, and she holds a M.S.P.H. in Epidemiology from the University of South Carolina (2005). Her personal research interests include mental health outcomes and access to mental health care for persons with disabilities (PWD), particularly related to suicide risk and prevention.
In 2024 she became the submitting Principal Investigator (along with her colleagues Drs. Molly Jacobs, Jessica Kramer, and Anne Kirby) for a 4-year R01 funded by the National Institute of Mental Health. In collaboration with an established team of autistic stakeholders and policy and practice experts, this project will identify and characterize multilevel, socioecological factors associated with risk of suicide behaviors and receipt of mental health services among autistic people, and generate evidence-based, community-supported recommendations for suicide prevention.
In 2023 she served as the Principal Investigator for a needs assessment study to document the disproportionate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on PWD. Results of this project were vital to developing a technical plan for how the Florida Centers for Independent Living (CILs) can address gaps identified for the COVID-19 era. As a follow-up to this study, she directed a learning collaborative knowledge development series for partnering CILs to support current and emerging needs of their public health workforce initiative. She also served as the Sub-Contract Principal Investigator of the Florida Disability and Health Program, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, from 2015 through 2021.
Prior to joining UF, Dr. Marlow worked as a Research Associate at MUSC in the Department of Public Health Sciences, forming collaborations with researchers in Dental Medicine, Healthcare Leadership and Management, Kidney Transplantation, Psychiatry, and Physical Therapy. She worked as a Co-Investigator on externally funded grants with NCRR, NIGMS, NIDCR, NCMHD, Abbott Laboratories, and AbbVie Inc. During 2005-2008, Dr. Marlow worked as an epidemiologist with the Health Services Research Division of the American Cancer Society, evaluating patterns of care, disparities, and clinical outcomes for cancer patients using a national, hospital-based cancer registry (the National Cancer Database).
