This NIJ grant offers a single award to evaluate the implementation of the Sex Offender Treatment Intervention and Progress Scale (SOTIPS). As part of a collaborative effort with the SMART Office, this grant aims to assess the real-world application of SOTIPS. Developed in Vermont, SOTIPS is an assessment tool combining static and dynamic risk measures to predict sexual recidivism. Recent NIJ-funded evaluation confirmed that SOTIPS, used in conjunction with Static-99R, consistently and effectively predicts recidivism, outperforming individual measures. Building on these positive findings, SMART will fund SOTIPS implementation in up to three sites. The proposed evaluation must include an implementation and process assessment, alongside an evaluation of relevant outcome measures, specifically treatment efficacy and recidivism.

| Description: | As part of a collaborative effort with the Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking (SMART), NIJ seeks competitive proposals for a single award that will support an evaluation of the implementation of the Sex Offender Treatment Intervention and Progress Scale (SOTIPS). Developed by the state of Vermont, SOTIPS combines static and dynamic risk measures into an overall assessment tool to predict sexual recidivism. It was hypothesized that SOTIPS, used in conjunction with the Static-99R, would better predict sexual recidivism than either type of measure (static or dynamic) alone. Results from a recent NIJ-funded evaluation found the combined static (Static-99R) and dynamic risk measure (SOTIPS) consistently predicted recidivism and outperformed either instrument when used alone. Based on these positive findings, SMART will fund the implementation of SOTIPS in up to three sites. The proposed evaluation should include an implementation and process evaluation, as well as an assessment of relevant outcome measures, including but not limited to treatment efficacy and recidivism. |
