JCOIN Coordination and Translation Center

“这项研究是NIH帮助结束长期成瘾（HEAL）计划的一部分，旨在加快国家阿片类药物公共卫生危机的科学解决方案。NIH HEAL倡议支持整个NIH的研究，以改善阿片类药物滥用和成瘾的治疗。 梅森协调和翻译中心（MCTC），由Faye S。乔治梅森大学（梅森）的税务员是健康司法学科的领导者：成瘾政策论坛（APF）的马克奥布莱恩;艾米墨菲（梅森）;健康与司法中心（CHJ）的帕姆罗德里格斯，安全社区的治疗选择;丹尼尔S。鲁德斯和丽贝卡·赫希（梅森）;威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的托德·莫尔芬特博士;马萨诸塞州医学院的沃伦·弗格森博士;马萨诸塞州贝州大学的彼得·弗里德曼博士。集体团队在这两个方面都是领导者 研究和实践领域，以促进新的政策，做法，并在个人和组织层面的干预措施。这使得MCTC团队具有独特的资格来实现JCOIN成功所需的协作，跨学科方法。无论是个人还是集体，该团队都坚信，并有良好的记录，可以提高涉及司法的个人的护理质量，增加研究这一关键的司法健康竞技场的学者数量，以改善个人和系统层面的结果，增加参与研究的司法和/或健康组织的数量，并推进为 阿片类药物使用障碍患者及其家人。而且，我们的团队有广泛和动态的经验，与受大规模监禁和药物滥用政策影响的人群一起工作。我们的价值观与JCOIN目标的一致性，沿着我们的学科和地理多样性，使这个团队独特地为JCOIN和NIDA服务。多边气候变化框架公约的目标将包括：1）合作伙伴之间的协调和日常活动的基础设施; 2）促进JCOIN的多方向沟通; 3）广泛传播研究成果; 4） 发展和维护教育基础设施，培养有经验的司法研究人员; 5）建立联盟，更好地服务于研究到实践、实践到研究的目标。五个核心将支持MCTC：1）行政（管理）核心，促进内部和外部JCOIN利益相关者之间的沟通; 2）快速响应和试点研究（RRPR）核心，为试点或小型创新研究提供资金; 3）传播和利益相关者参与（D/SE）核心，创建参与性研究合作伙伴关系，并为NIDA提供与利益相关者群体的轻松接触; 4）研究教育（学习经验，以 先进实践[LEAP]）核心，教育和指导研究人员和从业人员扩展知识和技能;和5）实施和转化研究（I/Trans）核心，执行严格的研究，以测试传播和实施策略，以了解影响各种受众使用的信息和材料的有效性的机制。总的来说，MCTC拥有获得JCOIN成功的广度和经验。MCTC将利用技术和方法来设计、测试和制作包含最先进科学的、与不同受众相关的互动教育和传播产品。 JCOIN是一个重要的章节，突出了实践和研究相互交织，互利互惠的地方。

“This study is part of the NIH’s Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) initiative to speed scientific solutions to the national opioid public health crisis. The NIH HEAL Initiative bolsters research across NIH to improve treatment for opioid misuse and addiction.” The proposed Mason Coordination and Translation Center (MCTC), led by Dr. Faye S. Taxman of George Mason University (Mason) are leaders in the health-justice disciplines: Mark O’Brien of Addiction Policy Forum (APF); Amy Murphy (Mason); Pam Rodriguez at Center for Health and Justice (CHJ), Treatment Alternatives for Safe Communities; Drs. Danielle S. Rudes and Rebekah Hersch (Mason); Dr. Todd Molfenter at University of Wisconsin-Madison; Dr. Warren Ferguson at University of Massachusetts School of Medicine (UMass); and, Dr. Peter Friedmann at University of Massachusetts-Baystate (UMMS). The collective team are leaders in both research and practice arenas to facilitate new policies, practices, and interventions at the individual and organizational level. This makes the MCTC team uniquely qualified to achieve the collaborative, transdisciplinary approach necessary for the success of JCOIN. Individually and collectively the team has a strong belief in, and track record for, improving the quality of care for justice-involved individuals and growing the number of scholars researching this critical justice-health arena to improve individual- and system- level outcomes, increasing the number of justice and/or health organizations engaging in research studies, and advancing the care provided to people with opioid use disorder and their families. And, our team has extensive and dynamic experience working with populations affected by both mass incarceration and substance abuse policies. The alignment of our values with JCOIN goals, along with our discipline and geographic diversity, makes this team uniquely situated to serve JCOIN and NIDA. MCTC goals will include: 1) coordination among partners and infrastructure for day-to-day activities; 2) facilitation of multidirectional JCOIN communication; 3) wide dissemination of research findings; 4) development and maintenance of an education infrastructure to grow experienced justice researchers; and 5) build coalitions to better serve research-to-practice, practice-to-research goals. Five Cores will support MCTC: 1) Administrative (Admin) Core, facilitating communication across internal and external JCOIN stakeholders; 2) Rapid Response and Pilot Research (RRPR) Core, providing funding for pilot or small innovative studies; 3) Dissemination and Stakeholder Engagement (D/SE) Core, creating a participatory research partnership and providing NIDA with easy access to stakeholder groups; 4) Research Education (Learning Experiences to Advance Practice [LEAP]) Core, educating and mentoring researchers and practitioners to expand knowledge and skills; and 5) Implementation and Translational Research (I/Trans) Core, executing rigorous studies to test Dissemination and Implementation strategies to understand mechanisms that impact the effectiveness of messages and materials used with various audiences. Collectively, the MCTC has breadth and experience to garner JCOIN success. MCTC will leverage techniques and methods to design, test, and produce interactional educational and dissemination products that contain state-of-the-art science, pertinent to varied audiences. JCOIN is an important chapter to highlight where practice and research intertwine, and are mutually beneficial.
