Opportunity Summary:
Translational Research on Interventions for Adolescents in the Legal System (TRIALS) (U01) is a National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), NIH cooperative agreement opportunity designed to strengthen how substance use prevention and treatment services are delivered to adolescents who are under juvenile justice supervision. The core purpose is not simply to test a single clinical program, but to build a coordinated, multi-site research effort that develops, evaluates, and refines practical implementation strategies and measurement approaches that help juvenile justice settings consistently adopt and sustain evidence-based substance use and related HIV prevention/treatment services. In other words, the focus is on closing the gap between what works in research and what actually gets used in real-world juvenile justice systems, where staffing, workflow, referral networks, court requirements, and local resources can make implementation difficult even when effective interventions exist.
The program is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients would operate in an active partnership model with NIDA rather than functioning entirely independently. The opportunity anticipates multiple Research Centers working together with a single coordinating center, with the intent that awardees collaborate as a formal research cooperative. That cooperative would plan and run multi-site studies across a range of community-based juvenile supervision environments, including juvenile probation, truancy courts and teen courts, and adolescent drug courts. The emphasis on multiple settings reflects a recognition that youth touch the legal system through different pathways, and that implementation challenges and service opportunities can look very different depending on whether a young person is on probation, in a diversionary court, or participating in a specialty drug court model.
From a research standpoint, TRIALS is aimed at producing contributions to implementation science as well as to service delivery outcomes. Applicants are expected to conduct translational and implementation-focused research: developing and testing strategies that improve uptake, fidelity, coordination, and continuation of prevention and treatment services along a continuum of care. This includes building and validating measures and methods that help sites determine whether evidence-based practices are being delivered as intended, whether systems are successfully linking youth to appropriate services, and what organizational or inter-agency processes are associated with better access and outcomes. The announcement specifically highlights substance abuse services and HIV prevention and treatment services, which signals interest in integrated approaches and in addressing overlapping public health risks common among justice-involved youth.
Key logistics from the source data show that this is a discretionary funding opportunity with the cooperative agreement instrument type (U01) under CFDA 93.279 (Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs). The funding opportunity number is RFA-DA-13-009, with the title listed as “Translational Research on Interventions for Adolescents in the Legal System TRIALS (U01).” The posting and creation dates are July 13, 2012, and the original/current closing date is November 28, 2012, with an archive date of December 29, 2012. The estimated total funding is $5,000,000, and the listed award ceiling is $500,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, which reduces barriers for applicants that may have difficulty providing non-federal match.
Eligibility is broad across public sector entities, education institutions, and nonprofit and for-profit organizations, reflecting the multi-system nature of juvenile justice and behavioral health research. Eligible applicants include state governments; city/township and county governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those categories); small businesses; and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The opportunity also explicitly includes a range of mission-focused and minority-serving or community-anchored organizations as “other eligible applicants,” such as faith-based or community-based organizations, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCCUs), regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions, along with certain tribal entities (both federally recognized tribal governments and tribal organizations other than federally recognized governments). At the same time, it clearly excludes foreign institutions and other non-U.S. entities, as well as non-domestic components of U.S. organizations, and it does not allow foreign components as defined by NIH policy.
Taken together, the opportunity is essentially trying to build a coordinated national research infrastructure focused on “how to make evidence-based adolescent substance use and HIV-related services actually work at scale” in juvenile justice supervision contexts. The deliverables implied by the announcement are collaborative multi-site studies, implementation strategies tailored to juvenile justice workflows, and standardized measures/methods that can be used to track and improve implementation success. The practical endpoint is a stronger, more reliable continuum of prevention and treatment for justice-involved youth, delivered through the systems that routinely interact with them, rather than being limited to research clinics or isolated demonstration projects.
