JCOIN Learning Experiences to Advance Practice (LEAP) 2023-2024 Scholars
The Capacity Building Core, which is part of JCOIN’s Coordination and Translation Center (CTC), has launched the Learning Experiences to Advance Practice (LEAP) education program to support investigators and scholars with training and knowledge to conduct research and build research capacity within justice and health settings.
LEAP SCHOLARS
The LEAP Scholar track supports clinicians or clinicians-in-training, operational leads, criminologists, analysts, master-level or doctoral students, and practitioners interested in conducting or collaborating on research as part of their careers. The program equips participants with the knowledge and tools to conduct research at the intersection of health and the criminal legal system, including formulating research questions, understanding elements of research design, ethical issues regarding research in criminal legal system settings, and translating research findings.
