Hillary Mousley Kapa, MPH is a Clinical Research Associate II in the Center for Injury Research and Prevention and Center for Violence Prevention. She currently collaborates on a broad portfolio of projects evaluating hospital and community programs seeking to foster individual and community well-being and mitigate violence. She engages with projects throughout their lifecycles—supporting research question generation and grant writing, methodological development, data collection and analysis oversight, and dissemination.

Hillary is broadly interested in studying individual and community health from an asset-based approach and in partnership with communities. She is particularly drawn to development, evaluation, and research of adolescent-focused programming, having been motivated to pursue a career in public health after working briefly as a high school English teacher. Relatedly, she most recently co-led a comprehensive formative evaluation of Beyond the Bars, a youth-led Philadelphia-based music enrichment program dedicated to interrupting cycles of violence, in collaboration with colleague Stephanie Garcia, and Beyond the Bars co-directors Matthew Kerr and Christopher Thornton.
