Involvement with the criminal justice system, substance use, and infection with HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are syndemic in the United States. Persons involved with the criminal justice (CJ) system are more likely to use substances, have comorbid mental health conditions, limited access to health care and health insurance, and have higher rates of HIV and HCV infection than the general population. Furthermore, incarcerated populations are also more likely to be racial and ethnic minorities and be economically and educationally disadvantaged. Research exploring these phenomena is insufficient. To address these disparities and increase the number and capacity of clinical scientists working with CJ populations, we established The Lifespan/Brown Criminal Justice Research Program on Substance Use and HIV (referred to as the CJRT) in 2014. Following a successful initial funding cycle during which we enrolled 22 scholars, we seek renewal funding to sustain this important and innovative training program. The CJRT program recruits an annual cohort of 4-5 scholars consisting of exceptionally qualified pre-doctoral, post-doctoral, and junior faculty researchers from the United States. The program is led by an experienced team of investigators from Brown University who collectively have several decades of experience conducting research among CJ-involved populations within local, national and international settings; and who have extensive mentoring experience with early career investigators. The mission of the CJRT program is to prepare scholars for independent NIH-funded clinical research careers focused on improving health outcomes related to substance use, HIV and HCV infection, and related co-morbidities among persons who are involved with the CJ system. The CJRT educational program is comprised of didactic education, mentored research, and experiential learning. CJRT scholars are enrolled for a two-year period and pursue research at their home institution under the guidance of both local and CJRT mentors. The program has the following three aims: 1) provide scholars with a solid foundation for clinical research related to CJ populations that includes skills in research methodology, scientific writing, grant writing, dissemination, and the ethics and practice of conducting research among vulnerable populations; 2) provide professional mentorship and guidance to support the career advancement of junior investigators; and 3) provide a mentored research experience including funds for pilot projects that provides a supportive pathway to research independence. For the next funding period, the CJRT program will highlight two new areas of training: 1) research related to the opioid crisis and overdose epidemic, given the public health urgency of this epidemic and direct relevance to CJ-populations; and 2) implementation science, given the need to effectively roll-out and expand access to evidence-based interventions for CJ-involved populations. Scientific guidance and program evaluation are strengthened by an Executive Committee and an External Advisory Committee.

参与刑事司法系统，药物使用以及艾滋病毒和丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）的感染 在美国是集合的。参与刑事司法（CJ）制度的人员更有可能使用 物质，具有合并的心理健康状况，获得医疗保健和健康保险的机会有限，以及 艾滋病毒和HCV感染的发生率高于一般人群。此外，被监禁的人群 也更有可能是种族和少数民族，并且在经济和教育上处于不利地位。 探索这些现象的研究不足。解决这些差异并增加数量和 与CJ人群合作的临床科学家的能力，我们建立了寿命/棕色犯罪分子 2014年关于药物使用和艾滋病毒（称为CJRT）的司法研究计划。 成功的初始资金周期在我们招收22名学者的期间，我们寻求续签资金来维持这一点 重要而创新的培训计划。 CJRT计划招募了4-5名学者的年度队列 由联合国联合的特殊资格前，博士后和初级研究人员组成 国家。该计划由布朗大学的经验丰富的调查员团队领导，他们共同拥有 数十年的经验在本地，国家和 国际环境；以及在早期职业调查人员中拥有丰富的指导经验。任务 CJRT计划是为独立NIH资助的临床研究事业准备的学者 改善与药物使用，艾滋病毒和HCV感染以及相关合并症有关的健康结果 参与CJ系统的人。 CJRT教育计划包括教育教育， 指导的研究和体验式学习。 CJRT学者被录入两年，并追求 在本地和CJRT导师的指导下，在其家庭机构进行研究。该程序具有 以下三个目标：1）为学者提供与CJ人群有关的临床研究的坚实基础 其中包括研究方法论技能，科学写作，赠款写作，传播以及道德规范以及 在脆弱人群中进行研究的实践； 2）提供专业指导和指导 支持初级调查人员的职业发展； 3）提供指导的研究经验 包括用于试点项目的资金，这些项目提供了研究独立性的支持途径。下一个 资助期，CJRT计划将重点介绍两个新的培训领域：1）与阿片类药物危机有关的研究 鉴于这种流行病的公共卫生紧迫，与CJ群体的直接相关性，过量的流行病； 2）实施科学，鉴于需要有效推出并扩大对基于证据的访问 CJ涉及人群的干预措施。科学指导和计划评估通过 执行委员会和外部咨询委员会。
