OJJDP FY 16 Practitioner-Researcher Partnership in Cognitive Behavioral Mentoring Program - 0 views
-
MiamiOH OARS on 29 Apr 16The Practitioner-Researcher Partnership in Cognitive Behavioral Mentoring Program will support the development, implementation, and evaluation of innovative mentoring approaches for youth at high risk for delinquency/juvenile and criminal justice involvement or victimization and trauma. These mentoring approaches must incorporate practices that are informed by research on cognitive behavioral interventions and techniques. The Program will fund a partnership between a practitioner/service provider and an evaluator/researcher. Practitioner/service provider applicants should develop and implement cognitive behavioral-informed practices within existing mentoring Programs. These new or enhanced approaches should be piloted, manualized, and implemented with a diverse target population (defined as populations that differ demographically and/or in implementation setting). Researcher applicants should design a rigorous evaluation that examines the Program design, implementation fidelity and process, and Program impact. OJJDP expects the practitioner and researcher to work closely throughout the application and Program development, implementation, and evaluation. OJJDP expects to make separate awards to support Program development and service delivery (Category 1) and evaluation activities (Category 2). Authorizing Legislation: This Program is authorized pursuant to the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2016 Pub. L. No. 114-113, 129 Stat. 2242, 2309.
