Dr. Kirsten Langdon, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and the Director of Strategy and Research Development at Rhode Island Hospital and an Assistant Professor of Research in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown School of Medicine. Throughout her training, she has been devoted to providing treatment to individuals with substance use disorders and currently provides clinical care at the Lifespan Recovery Center. The goal of her COBRE pilot project is to elicit feedback from the target population to inform the development and refinement of a text message-delivered intervention designed to support community reentry and linkage to care among individuals who were started on medication for opioid use disorder during a period of incarceration. Given the high rates of fatal overdose observed among individuals recently released from jail/prison, the study seeks to provide critical support to a particularly vulnerable and high-risk segment of the population.

Call for Proposals: Rapid Innovation Grant (J-RIG) Program-2021 Summer Cycle
JCOIN's Coordination and Translation Center is excited to announce the call for proposals of the Rapid Innovation Grant (J-RIG) program. J-RIG is a rapid funding mechanism to support small research grants to study newly emerging policies, practices, or interventions that address prevention and treatment of addiction among justice-involved populations.
J-RIG welcomes both applicants who work in research environments AND those who do not work in research environments but could benefit from funding to study local initiatives, policy changes, or practice improvement efforts. J-RIG projects also are appropriate for developmental pilots, feasibility studies, or other research broadly defined as foundational work for further research and practice.
The J-RIG call for proposals will be released three times per year. Funding will be provided for up to 24-months and may not exceed $100,000 in direct funding.
Applications are due by Monday, May 3, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
