Over the last 15 years, criminal justice decision makers, state legislatures, and the federal government have increasingly pushed for the adoption of researched-based, data-driven, or evidence-based programming. This focus has been accompanied by the development of menus of promising and evidence-based programming, including, but not limited to, www.crimesolutions.gov and www.blueprintsprograms.com. While improving access to evidence-based strategies is vital, it is also imperative to understand the importance of fidelity and other factors when seeking to replicate a program or practice. Poor implementation of a program model can not only diminish the desired outcomes, but if done poorly, can tarnish the reputation of a given program or treatment modality. On May 1, join the National Criminal Justice Association (NCJA) for the Implementation Science and the Importance of Fidelity webinar, which will focus on what science tells us about effective implementation of evidence-based programs and practices and how this can impact desired outcomes. As an applied example, this webinar will describe data and lessons learned from a 15-year project of the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency to scale-up a menu of evidence-based programs and treatment modalities. Speakers for this webinar are Brian Bumbarger, founding director of the Evidence-based Prevention and Intervention Support Center (EPISCenter) at Penn State University, and Roger Przybylski, founder of the RKC Group.
