The University of Missouri System, through its "Curators of the University of Missouri" entity, has been awarded a $164,357 Project Grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to conduct a study examining the impact of Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training for correctional officers on use of force, mental health crisis response, and well-being of incarcerated individuals with mental illness.

The 2-year study aims to utilize existing data to determine if the implementation of CIT training in one state prison system has led to changes in officer use of force, segregation of inmates with mental illness, staff grievances, and attempted/completed suicides among the incarcerated population. The research will test the hypothesis that improving correctional officer knowledge and reducing biases toward inmates with mental illness through CIT training can minimize harmful sanctions, increase safety, and enhance crisis response. This exploratory research project aligns with NIMH's objective to inform and enhance interventions within real-world service delivery systems, such as the correctional environment which houses a large proportion of individuals with mental illness.
