JCOIN Coordination and Translation Center

这项研究是NIH帮助结束成瘾长期(Hear)倡议的一部分，该倡议旨在加快科学解决国家阿片类药物公共健康危机的速度。NIH Hear Initiative支持整个NIH的研究，以改善阿片类药物滥用和成瘾的治疗。拟议的梅森协调和翻译中心(MCTC)由乔治梅森大学(梅森)的费耶·S·塔尔曼博士领导，是卫生正义学科的领导者：成瘾政策论坛(APF)的马克·奥布莱恩(APF)；艾米·墨菲(梅森)；健康与司法中心(CHJ)的帕姆·罗德里格斯(Pam Rodriguez)，治疗替代疗法 他们是：安全社区的丹妮尔·鲁德斯博士和丽贝卡·赫希博士(梅森)；威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的托德·莫尔芬特博士；马萨诸塞大学医学院的沃伦·弗格森博士；以及马萨诸塞大学贝州分校的彼得·弗里德曼博士。集体团队是研究和实践领域的领导者，以促进个人和组织层面的新政策、实践和干预。这使得MCTC团队成为唯一有资格实现JCOIN成功所必需的协作、跨学科方法的团队。无论是个人还是集体，该团队都坚信提高对涉及司法的个人的护理质量，并在这方面取得了良好的成绩，越来越多的学者研究这一关键的司法-健康领域，以改善个人和系统一级的成果，增加从事研究的司法和/或卫生组织的数量，并促进向阿片类药物使用障碍患者及其家人提供的护理。而且，我们的团队拥有广泛和动态的工作经验 人口受到大规模监禁和药物滥用政策的影响。我们的价值观与JCOIN的目标相一致，加上我们的纪律和地理多样性，使这支团队处于为JCOIN和NIDA服务的独特位置。MCTC的目标将包括：1)合作伙伴之间的协调和日常基础设施 这些活动包括：2)促进多方向的JCOIN交流；3)广泛传播研究成果；4)发展和维护教育基础设施，以培养有经验的司法研究人员；5)建立联盟，更好地服务于研究与实践、实践与研究的目标。五个核心将支持MCTC：1)行政(行政)核心，促进JCOIN内部和外部利益攸关方之间的沟通；2)快速反应和试点研究(RRPR)核心，为试点或小型创新研究提供资金；3)传播和利益攸关方参与(D/SE)核心，创建参与性研究伙伴关系，使NIDA能够轻松接触利益攸关方群体；4)研究教育(学习经验，以 高级实践[LEAP])核心，教育和指导研究人员和从业人员，以扩大知识和技能；以及5)实施和翻译研究(I/TRANS)核心，执行严格的研究，以测试传播和实施战略，以了解影响 不同受众使用的信息和材料。总的来说，MCTC有广度和经验来获得JCOIN的成功。MCTC将利用技术和方法来设计、测试和生产互动的教育和传播产品，这些产品包含最先进的科学，与不同的受众相关。 JCOIN是强调实践和研究交织在一起并互惠互利的重要一章。

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.
