This grant, offered by the National Institute of Justice in collaboration with the Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, seeks proposals for evaluating the implementation of the Sex Offender Treatment Intervention and Progress Scale (SOTIPS). Developed in Vermont, SOTIPS combines static and dynamic risk measures to predict sexual recidivism. The evaluation should assess the effectiveness of SOTIPS in predicting recidivism when used alongside the Static-99R, with a focus on treatment efficacy and outcomes. SMART will fund SOTIPS implementation in three sites based on positive results from a previous study. Proposals should include implementation, process evaluation, and outcome measures assessment.

| 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. |
