The BOP team usually spends its time evaluating programs, analyzing outcomes, and identifying areas for improvement. This time, they traded the data for paddles and served up some friendly competition at Courtside Kitchen in Fort Worth. The team enjoyed good food, pickleball, and time together outside of the usual workday.

The team completed 220 inmate focus groups and 71 staff focus groups/interviews, helping document the perspectives and experiences of people who live and work in correctional settings.

More to come as the project moves toward final reporting this fall.

The STOP HIV team attended the BeU HIV & Aging Symposium in Fort Worth this week.

The event gave the team an opportunity to learn more about the population they serve while also connecting with attendees and sharing information about the STOP HIV project.

Thank you to the STOP team for representing IBR and helping keep our research connected to the communities it is designed to support.

IBR teams often work in the field, meeting people and programs where the work is happening.

The Mobile Health Unit adds another layer to that work by bringing health-focused research and services directly into community settings. Instead of relying only on office or clinic-based spaces, the unit gives teams a flexible place to support outreach, field-based projects, and clinical work where people are.

Swipe through for a closer look inside the unit.

IBR’s work focuses on real-world issues connected to public health, public safety, and service delivery.

Our research includes substance use treatment, recovery, corrections and re-entry settings, HIV prevention, behavioral health, training, and program evaluation.

Across projects, the goal is to better understand what works and how research can help strengthen programs, systems, and outcomes.
