Implementation drivers such as those developed by the National Implementation Research Network provide a much needed roadmap for organizations to effectively deliver and sustain EBP. These drivers consist of competency drivers (staff training, staff attitudes & beliefs, and coaching), leadership drivers (technical and adaptive), and organization drivers (system interventions, decision data support system, and a facilitative administration). These three drivers help to determine key areas organizations need to have in place to implement and sustain implementation of innovations (Fixson)2. There is a growing body of research which indicates that evidence-based programming with solid, quality implementation reach the intended outcome of reducing the likelihood of individuals under supervision engaging in future criminal behavior better than those interventions with poor implementation designs (Salisbury)3. NIC envisions the updating of the identified resources in this solicitation that will include a focus on incorporating implementation science and research that will help community corrections organizations improve implementation strategies for proposed or current interventions that support evidence-based practices.
