The Research & Evaluation Unit welcomes universities, individuals
or agencies who want to conduct research with the New Jersey Department
of Corrections. If your organization or agency is interested in
doing research with the NJ Department of Corrections, please submit
a research proposal and the following forms. The subsequent forms
are required for the Departmental Research Review Board (DRRB) to
evaluate the research your agency would like to conduct. The DRRB
will confer and assess the proposal your organization submits. Please
note: Respective University IRB forms must be submitted to the
NJDOC as well.
The procedures for DRRB approval include the following steps. All
requests for research should include the forms listed below along
with a proposal of the planned research your organization intends
to study. In order to approve research, the DRRB will determine
if several requirements are met. The requirements include whether
the risks to human subjects is minimized and reasonable. Informed
consent for all human subjects must be documented and the research
plan should make adequate provisions for monitoring the data to
ensure the safety of all data subjects. Organizations can request
on the research application a full DRRB panel review of proposed
research or an expedited evaluation if the entity submits materials
(data, documents) along with the proposal. The DRRB meets monthly
and all requests for proposals must be received in the DRRB office
by the 10th of the month in order to be considered at the next scheduled
meeting. Requests for research received after the 10th will be held
until the subsequent month's meeting.
