Despite a growing emphasis on implementing evidence-based practices (EBPs) in clinical social work, a gap remains between research and practice. A report by the Institute of Medicine (2006) describes the disconnect between available EBPs and the lack of consistency in applying these treatments in community mental health settings. In response to the pressing need for wider dissemination of evidence-based practices (EBPs) in homeless service settings, the Center for Social Innovation, LLC (C4SI) responded to a request for proposals from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) to provide web-based training for social workers. The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract (hhsn271200800027c) was awarded in September 2008, and Phase I of the project was completed in September 2009. For the Phase I pilot, we selected Critical Time Intervention (CTI), an EBP that is listed on the National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices (www.nrepp.samhsa.gov). It is one of the few EBPs designed specifically for people experi¿encing homelessness. While NIMH has supported seminal research evaluating the impact of CTI on people transitioning from shelters into housing, a gap persists between the growing body of evidence supporting the efficacy of CTI and its widespread use in homeless service settings. To begin bridging this gap, C4SI partnered with the nation¿s leading CTI experts, Dan Herman and Sarah Conover at Columbia University, to design and implement a web-based training curriculum. The proposed Phase II SBIR contract will build on the success of the Phase I Pilot product through improvements in curriculum design and technological capacity. During this phase of the project, we will also evaluate the impact of the online CTI course, not only among agencies and clinicians who implement CTI, but also in the lives of the people they serve. We will disseminate study findings through conference presentations, peer-reviewed journal articles, and posting of findings on websites such as www.center4si.com and www.criticaltime.org. Finally, we will prepare for full-scale commercialization of the product upon completion of Phase II.

尽管越来越重视在临床社会工作中实施循证实践（EBP），但研究与实践之间仍存在差距。医学研究所（2006年）的一份报告描述了现有EBP之间的脱节以及在社区精神卫生环境中应用这些治疗方法缺乏一致性。为了应对无家可归者服务环境中更广泛传播循证实践（EBP）的迫切需要，社会创新中心（C4SI）回应了国家心理健康研究所（NIMH）的提案请求，为社会工作者提供基于网络的培训。小企业创新研究（SBIR）合同（hhsn271200800027c）于2008年9月授予，项目的第一阶段于2009年9月完成。对于第一阶段的试点，我们选择了关键时间干预（CTI），这是一种在国家循证计划和实践登记处（www.nrepp.samhsa.gov）上列出的EBP。这是为数不多的EBP专门为无家可归的人设计的。虽然NIMH支持了评估CTI对从庇护所过渡到住房的人的影响的开创性研究，但越来越多的证据支持CTI的功效与其在无家可归者服务环境中的广泛使用之间存在差距。为了开始弥合这一差距，C4SI与美国领先的CTI专家、哥伦比亚大学的Dan赫尔曼和Sarah科诺菲尔合作，设计并实施了基于网络的培训课程。拟议的第二阶段SBIR合同将建立在第一阶段试点产品的成功基础上，通过改进课程设计和技术能力。在项目的这一阶段，我们还将评估在线CTI课程的影响，不仅在实施CTI的机构和临床医生中，而且在他们所服务的人的生活中。我们将通过会议报告、同行评审期刊文章以及在www.center4si.com和www.criticaltime.org等网站上发布研究结果来传播研究结果。最后，我们将在第二阶段完成后为产品的全面商业化做准备。
