Translating Evidence-Based Practices
The Center for Advancing Correctional Excellence (ACE!) is a dynamic center that aims to bridge disciplines and bring researchers, practitioners, and policymakers together to grapple with issues that affect criminal justice and health systems. As part of the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University, ACE!’s mission is three-pronged: to conduct high quality research; to form lasting partnerships with the community; and to develop the next generation of researchers.
Translating evidence-based practices (EBPs) from research into practice in the justice and treatment systems is essential for improving both client-level and system-level outcomes. Researchers at ACE! have created several tools to help organizations translate and implement EBPs effectively.
