At Columbia University, his roles have included Chair of Epidemiology, Director of the Psychiatric Epidemiology Training Program, and co-founder of the Columbia University Global Mental Health Program. His work includes the initial development and testing of Critical Time Intervention (CTI) to prevent recurrent homelessness, and its adaptation to settings in Latin America, alongside Sarah Conover. Under the leadership of Daniel Herman, as well as Sarah Conover, he has contributed to the ongoing evolution of CTI in the Center for Advancement of CTI. Sarah Conover directs the Global Network of the Center for the Advancement of Critical Time Intervention at Hunter College, which promotes fidelity to the model through collaboration on international adaptations. She co-developed the CTI model while at the New York State Psychiatric Institute, where her focus was on developing and evaluating services for people with schizophrenia who are homeless.
