PROGRAM DESCRIPTION ONDCP’s Drug Court Training and Technical Assistance Grant supports training and technical assistance (TTA) that helps states, state courts, local courts, units of local government with drug courts or considering drug courts develop, maintain, and enhance alternatives to incarceration for individuals with addiction.
The President’s priority is to enhance public safety by providing those who have engaged in criminal activity with greater opportunities to lead productive lives by addressing a range of issues, including mental health, vocational training, job creation, after-school programming, substance abuse, and mentoring through evidence-based rehabilitation programs.
ONDCP seeks to reduce drug use and its consequences through evidence-based practices, and this grant will apply these principles to the criminal justice system.
The purpose of this grant is to:
(1) educate, train, and produce materials to improve adherence to best practices, (2) decrease justice costs and recidivism, (3) improve access to services and service delivery, and (4) reduce disproportionality of punishment in the criminal justice system.
The grant recipient shall:
Use expert practitioners in the fields engaged in the science of addiction, criminal justice, healthcare, and drug courts.
Provide in-person training, online training, and jurisdiction-specific technical assistance to a variety of demographically composed areas at the state, local, and tribal levels.
Include ONDCP policy priorities in the development and execution of training and technical assistance programs and educational materials:
Applying a comprehensive approach to addressing opioid use disorders, including overdose prevention and naloxone administration training, and programs that provide access to medication-assisted treatment.
Diversion programming with evidenced-based and comprehensive case management, treatment for substance use disorders, recovery and other necessary services.
Consistency of practice among drug courts.
Collect and analyze data from jurisdictions engaged in grantee programming on alternatives to incarceration to determine the effectiveness of the trainings and on-site assistance.
All portions of the application must reflect these objectives and subject matter areas.
