Dr. Oluwoye is an Associate Professor in the Department of Community and Behavioral Health. She co-leads the APPROACHES to Community Mental Health Co-Lab and is also a faculty member in the Promoting Research Initiatives in Substance Use and Mental Health (PRISM) Collaborative.

Dr. Oluwoye research interests have focused on increasing racial health equity in mental health, with an emphasis on improving access to treatment and treatment delivery in community-based settings. As a health services and disparities researcher her work seeks to improve the pathway to mental health services, including coordinated speciality care for early psychosis, for ethnoracial minoritized families. Much of this work is guided by the use of frameworks centered on culturally informed intervention development or adaptation combined with implementation science methodologies. She recently completed a career development award funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (K01MH117457) and has several active research grants funded, including a recently funded R01 to examine the implementation and effectiveness of a family-peer delivered engagement strategy in coordinated specialty care programs

Dr. Oluwoye is a certified health education specialist and licensed mental health counseling associate. She has extensive experience in the prevention of substance use among racially and ethnically diverse groups, qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis, mixed-methods research, and program development and evaluation.
