DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The research direction of the Delaware CJ-DATS group will be guided by a number of themes. First, despite the growing body of scientific research on the effectiveness of corrections-based treatment, scientifically rigorous, multisite studies with offender populations across jurisdictions are missing from the literature. Second, it is important that transitional treatment not only be available to bridge the movement of clients from institutional treatment to the aftercare phase, but at the same time, it is imperative that the nature and extent of effective transitional treatment be better understood. Third, there is the issue of research to practice. Because research does not occur in a vacuum, studies conducted with correctional populations should be policy relevant if findings are to be implemented. Fourth, for research in corrections to endure, one of the more important contributions of this CJ-DATS initiative will be developing mechanisms for establishing partnerships among the research, treatment, and criminal justice communities. The University of Delaware's research team views the CJ-DATS initiative as an opportunity to build both a regional and national infrastructure of researchers, clinicians, treatment providers, and criminal justice officials, each of whom will have input into the cross-site studies to be conducted. The Delaware team has extensive research experience in all three components of the RFA - studies in prisons, community-based corrections, and treatment settings - and the problems of integrating and coordinating their often differing goals and procedures. The Delaware team will bring this experience to the table at the CJ-DATS steering committee and subcommittee meetings, with the idea of testing alternative approaches to each of the research themes. The Delaware team also views the CJ-DATS initiative as an opportunity to develop and test alternative interventions across sites, with the intention of addressing criminal justice system concerns about length of stay and rising treatment costs. To accomplish the aims of the CJ-DATS initiative, the University of Delaware has entered into partnerships with the Delaware Dept. of Corrections, the New Jersey Dept. of Corrections, Correctional Medical Services (the treatment provider to both correctional systems), as well as community based treatment programs. Delaware is prepared to serve as a Lead Center for studies in such diverse areas as transitional treatment, special programs for women, and HIV prevention.

描述（由申请人提供）： 特拉华州 CJ-DATS 小组的研究方向将由多个主题指导。首先，尽管关于惩戒治疗有效性的科学研究不断增多，但文献中却缺少对跨司法管辖区的罪犯群体进行科学严谨、多地点的研究。其次，重要的是，过渡治疗不仅可以作为服务对象从机构治疗过渡到善后阶段的桥梁，同时还必须更好地理解有效过渡治疗的性质和范围。第三，研究与实践的问题。由于研究不是在真空中进行的，因此如果要实施研究结果，对惩教人群进行的研究应该与政策相关。第四，为了使惩戒研究能够持久，这项 CJ-DATS 倡议的更重要贡献之一将是制定在研究、治疗和刑事司法界之间建立伙伴关系的机制。特拉华大学的研究团队将 CJ-DATS 计划视为一个机会，可以建立一个由研究人员、临床医生、治疗提供者和刑事司法官员组成的地区和国家基础设施，他们每个人都将为跨地点研究提供投入。实施。特拉华州团队在 RFA 的所有三个组成部分（监狱研究、社区惩教和治疗环境）以及整合和协调其经常不同的目标和程序的问题方面拥有丰富的研究经验。特拉华州团队将在 CJ-DATS 指导委员会和小组委员会会议上讨论这一经验，并提出测试每个研究主题的替代方法的想法。特拉华州团队还将 CJ-DATS 计划视为开发和测试跨地点替代干预措施的机会，旨在解决刑事司法系统对住院时间长短和治疗成本上升的担忧。为了实现 CJ-DATS 计划的目标，特拉华大学已与特拉华州惩教部、新泽西州惩教部、惩教医疗服务中心（两个惩教系统的治疗提供者）以及作为基于社区的治疗计划。特拉华州准备成为过渡治疗、妇女特殊项目和艾滋病毒预防等不同领域的研究牵头中心。
