This is a second submission of an application that requests funding for an ACISIR focusing on mental health (MH) and substance abuse (SA) services issues that arise when persons with mental illness have encounters with the criminal justice (CJ) system. The Center for Behavioral Health Services & Criminal Justice Research, developed with support from a NIMH developing center grant (P20 MH661170), seeks to (a) improve the ways in which the MH, SA and CJ systems respond to the needs of persons with mental illness and (b) inform the policies and practices that are intended to affect these responses. This objective is accomplished by fostering collaborative, multi-disciplinary research that is informed by the expertise of practitioners, policymakers, advocates, and consumers. The Center is situated at Rutgers University and co- directed by Drs. Nancy Wolff (Rutgers) and Jeffrey Draine (University of Pennsylvania). The Operations, Methods, Research, and Network cores are directed, respectively, by Dr. Wolff; Dr. Steven Belenko; Dr. Draine; and Mr. Richard Baron (with Dr. Wolff). The Rutgers site provides the structure for research and training in MH-SA-CJ systems dynamics and coordinates all Center-related activities. The multi-disciplinary team is situated in a "borderless" research environment that includes researchers and research sites located across the country. Central to the Center's mission is the involvement of stakeholders at all stages of the research and dissemination process while building their capacity to apply research in practice and in policymaking. Together, under the Center's auspices, researchers and stakeholders pursue timely, rigorous and multi-disciplinary MH-SA-CJ services and intervention research. The Network Core focuses on building social networks, through local and web-based communities of practice to facilitate learning about research evidence, research process, practice and policy dynamics, and challenges related to persons with mental illness involved with the CJ system. The proposed advanced center will develop conceptually coherent research and supporting methods, and a series of research initiatives that will culminate in the submission and funding of grant applications that provide findings that will improve practice and policy. The revision includes: adding 7 MH intervention researchers, clarifying the role of culture, diversity, and qualitative methods in our research, and developing three new intervention projects.

这是第二次提交申请，要求为ACISIR提供资金，重点是精神疾病患者遇到刑事司法系统(CJ)时出现的精神健康(MH)和药物滥用(SA)服务问题。行为健康服务和刑事司法研究中心是在NIMH发展中心赠款(P20 MH661170)的支持下建立的，旨在(A)改进MH、SA和CJ系统对精神病患者需求的反应方式，并(B)为旨在影响这些反应的政策和做法提供信息。这一目标是通过促进协作的多学科研究来实现的，这些研究由从业者、政策制定者、倡导者和消费者的专业知识提供信息。该中心位于罗格斯大学，由南希·沃尔夫博士(罗格斯大学)和杰弗里·德雷恩博士(宾夕法尼亚大学)共同指导。运营、方法、研究和网络核心分别由沃尔夫博士、史蒂文·贝伦科博士、德雷恩博士和理查德·巴伦先生(与沃尔夫博士一起)指导。罗格斯大学网站提供MH-SA-CJ系统动力学方面的研究和培训结构，并协调所有与中心相关的活动。多学科团队位于一个“无边界”的研究环境中，其中包括分布在全国各地的研究人员和研究地点。该中心的核心任务是让利益攸关方参与研究和传播进程的所有阶段，同时建设他们将研究应用于实践和决策的能力。在该中心的支持下，研究人员和利益相关者共同开展及时、严格和多学科的MH-SA-CJ服务和干预研究。网络核心侧重于通过地方和基于网络的实践社区建立社会网络，以促进学习研究证据、研究过程、实践和政策动态，以及与CJ系统有关的精神疾病患者的挑战。拟议的高级中心将开发概念上连贯的研究和支持方法，以及一系列研究举措，最终将提交赠款申请并为其提供资金，以提供将改善实践和政策的结果。修订包括：增加7名MH干预研究人员，明确文化、多样性和定性方法在我们研究中的作用，并开发三个新的干预项目。
