We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Translating Contingency Management to a Natural Setting @ University of Pennsylvania
[unreadable] DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary: The applicant, an addiction psychiatrist, will attend the doctoral program in criminology at the University of Pennsylvania. As his dissertation project the applicant will perform a study investigating whether a contingency management intervention can be effectively translated to a natural criminal justice setting, namely the Philadelphia Adult Probation and Parole Department. The intervention consists of intensive urine toxicology screening coupled with the application of a series of graduated consequences (positive or negative) for continued drug use. The intervention will be applied in a randomized, controlled trial fashion to a population of primarily African-American non-violent drug-using offenders who have been sentenced to house arrest with electronic monitoring and drug treatment. By using a randomized controlled trial the applicant hopes to contribute to evidence-based clinical practices as well as correctional practices. The first goal of the study is to ascertain the effectiveness of the translation of the intervention to a "real world" criminal justice setting. The second goal is to determine if the intervention condition leads to significantly more abstinence from drugs, less involvement with crime, and less re-incarceration than supervision as usual. The third goal is to determine if any moderators of treatment effect can be identified. Relevance: This project is directly in line with the initiatives outlined in the NIH Roadmap for NIDA Investigators, specifically with the themes "Research Teams of the Future" and "Re-engineering the Clinical Research Enterprise". In combining the applicant's expertise in addiction psychiatry with formal education in criminology, this study is clearly an example of a "novel research training and education program that provide[s] integrated interdisciplinary training." In drawing from the pre-clinical and clinical literature to translate a known behavioral intervention (contingency management) to a novel, natural setting, this proposal embodies "multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary clinical and translational research" and is an "application of new knowledge and techniques to clinical practice at the front lines of patient care."
