Current post doctoral trainees are working based at University of Pennsylvania and Rutgers University with extended network connections to Yale University, University of Massachusetts Medical Center, Cambridge University, University of Chicago, University of Illinois at Chicago, and University of California Irvine. Post doctoral trainees join existing and evolving research projects as they build their own fundable research program. Trainees develop connections with field collaborators in behavioral health and criminal systems, and learn to include multiple actors in research development, implementation and dissemination. All trainees complete a structured research and professional development plan with a mentoring team. Among the goals and objectives in this plan will be completing publication from dissertation level work, publishing new conceptual and empirical work, and preliminary work toward research grants from NIH, NSF, NIJ or other research funding agencies. Finally, the program provides support to trainees in academic and research center job searches. A trainee’s plan may include planning an Intensive Case Analytic (ICA) workshop. This is a week long workshop with research and policy leaders from a variety of disciplinary perspectives that help conceptually ground an area of research development. Past ICA’s have been built around the concepts of ‘Therapeutic Jurisprudence’ and ‘Recovery and Mental Illness’.

The Center for Mental Health Services & Criminal Justice Research offers up to two years of post-doctoral training in mental health services and criminal justice research. This training is funded by a training grant from NIMH and NIDA. The post doctoral training program builds on the Center’s national base of affiliated research scholars to offer a variety of potential sites for post doctoral training. The Center will coordinate the development of a mentoring team that builds on the resources of a base training site.
