U.S.C. 3721–23 (1994).

Background

The National Institute of Justice (NIJ)

is requesting proposals for evaluation

and research related to the Juvenile

Accountability Incentive Block Grant

(JAIBG) program, which is administered

by the Office of Juvenile Justice and

Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It

responds to both the congressional and

public demand for accountability and

the need to develop a knowledge base

that examines policy and programmatic

experience and continually

recommends improvements to them.

This initial announcement seeks to

support a three-tiered evaluation

approach:

(1) A national evaluation of the

implementation of JAIBG. One award of

up to $500,000 is expected to be made,

for a period of up to two years.

(2) Topical research regarding issues

of policy raised by the mandates that

underlie JAIBG. Six awards of up to

$200,000 each are expected to be made,

for a period of up to two years each.

(3) Individual practitioner-research

partnerships to build local capacity to

perform research on crucial areas

surrounding the implementation of

JAIBG. Ten awards of up to $75,000

each are expected to be made, for a

period of up to fifteen months.

Interested organizations should call

the National Criminal Justice Reference

Service (NCJRS) at 1–800–851–3420 to
