Evidence-Based Decision Making in State and Local Criminal Justice
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) is soliciting proposals from organizations, groups, or individuals to enter into a cooperative agreement for a 15-month period to begin no later than August 15, 201 3. Work under this cooperative agreement will be an extension of the NICs Evidence-Based
Decision Making (EBDM) in Local Criminal Justice Systems initiative.
It will require the coordination of jurisdictions receiving technical assistance under EBDM and review of work produced under other cooperative agreements that resulted in deliverables under EBDM.Work under this cooperative agreement will involve all activities necessary to plan for the successful implementation of EBDM in a statewide structure.
Specifically, the awardee will plan a comprehensive structure for implementation, including development of a technical assistance (TA) plan and the tools required to build capacity to implement EBDM within local jurisdictions and state-level criminal justice planning committees.
The awardee will also revise A Framework for Evidence-Based Decision Making in Local Criminal Justice Systems to include needed content changes and additions to support statewide implementation; develop activities and tools needed to select a state that, through an identified process, is determined to have the greatest potential for successful planning and implementation of EBDM at the statewide level; provide TA to current EBDM sites and their states criminal justice coordinating counsels and executive administration in preparation for statewide planning for EBDM implementation.
This project will be a collaborative venture with the NIC Community Services Division.
