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一些主题指导。首先，尽管关于基于矫正的治疗的有效性的科学研究越来越多，但文献中缺少对不同法域的罪犯群体进行的科学严谨的多地点研究。第二，重要的是，不仅要提供过渡性治疗，将病人从机构治疗过渡到善后阶段，同时，还必须更好地了解有效过渡性治疗的性质和程度。第三，是研究到实践的问题。由于研究不是在真空中进行的，如果要落实研究结果，对教养人口进行的研究就应当与政策相关。第四，为了使矫正研究能够持久，CJ-DATS倡议的一个更重要的贡献将是建立研究、治疗和刑事司法界之间建立伙伴关系的机制。特拉华州大学的研究小组认为，CJ-DATS倡议是一个机会，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区域和国家基础设施，他们每个人都将为将要进行的跨站点研究提供投入。特拉华州团队在RFA的所有三个组成部分--监狱研究、社区矫正和治疗环境--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。特拉华州团队将把这一经验带到CJ-DATS指导委员会和小组委员会会议上，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倡议视为一个机会，可以在各个地点开发和测试替代干预措施，目的是解决刑事司法系统对住院时间和治疗费用上涨的担忧。为了实现CJ-DATS倡议的目标，特拉华州大学与特拉华州系建立了伙伴关系。新泽西惩教署惩教署、惩教医疗服务处（两个惩教系统的治疗提供者）以及社区治疗方案。特拉华州准备成为过渡治疗、妇女特别方案和艾滋病毒预防等不同领域研究的牵头中心。
