Congratulations to Shelley Brown (Psychology) on being awarded a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Partnership Development Grant in the November 2023 competition. The project is a formal partnership with the Ontario Ministry of the Solicitor General and includes team members from the Ministry as well as from the Center for Effective Public Policy. “Evaluating a New Model of Probation and Parole Supervision in Ontario” aims to evaluate the made-in-Ontario Core Correctional Practice model of community supervision. This evidence-based community supervision model is intended to address the complex needs of justice-impacted people experiencing community-based sentences such as probation and parole.

Partnership Development Grants provide support for research conducted in a formal partnership between postsecondary institutions and/or organizations of various types.
