Strengthen partnerships with state, local, and tribal stakeholders. Ensure integrity of, and respect for, science—including a focus on evidence-based, “smart on crime” approaches in criminal and juvenile justice. Administer OJP’s grant awards in a fair, accessible, and transparent fashion—and, as good stewards of federal funds, manage the grants system in a manner that avoids waste, fraud, and abuse. With the January 2012 release of the Department of Justice FY 2012-2016 strategic plan, OJP will begin the planning and coordination phase in preparation of developing an OJP strategic plan by 2014. This performance budget describes OJP’s programs and their relationship to DOJ’s Strategic Plan, expected long-term outcomes, annual performance measures, and the funding request. This integrated strategy demonstrates, in a concrete way, OJP’s ability to provide information and innovation through a “knowledge-to-practice model”. This research-based approach is used to guide evidence-based decision-making to meet the challenges of crime and justice. OJP is currently aligned with the following DOJ goals and objectives: Goal 2: Prevent Crime, Protect the Rights of the American People, and Enforce Federal Law Objective 2.2: Prevent and intervene in crimes against vulnerable populations; uphold the rights of, and improve services to, American’s crime victims. Goal 3: Ensure and support the fair, impartial, efficient, and transparent administration of justice at the federal, state, local, tribal and international levels. Objective 3.1: Promote and strengthen relationships and strategies for the administration of justice with state, local, tribal, and international law enforcement. Objective 3.3: Provide for the safe, secure, humane, and cost-effective confinement of detainees awaiting trial and/or sentencing, and those in the custody of the federal prison system. Budget Structure In FY 2013, OJP’s budget structure is comprised of five appropriation accounts outlined below: Research, Evaluation, and Statistics (formerly Justice Assistance): Provides grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements for research, development, and evaluation; and supports development and dissemination of quality statistical and scientific information. This account also includes OJP’s Management and Administration (M&A) reimbursable funding from programs, which supports overall management and administrative functions of OJP (including activities of the Office of Audit, Assessment and Management).

reentry into society. In any given year, approximately 30,000 participants are provided specialized residential substance and aftercare services designed to help them become substance and crime free, develop skills to obtain adequate employment, and lead productive lives in the community. By focusing on substance involved offenders in US prisons and jails, states are able to achieve cost efficiency while simultaneously addressing the treatment needs of an important subpopulation of offenders who are found to drive most jurisdictions’ recidivism rates. Therefore, an increase in RSAT funding would enable states and units of local and tribal government to expand much needed substance abuse treatment services to a subpopulation of offenders that need it most, thereby reducing the treatment gap for such individuals. Impact on Performance This program enhancement supports DOJ’s Strategic Goal 3: Ensure and support the fair, impartial, efficient, and transparent administration of justice at the federal, state, local, tribal and international levels. The goals of this initiative are to: Help states and local governments develop and implement substance abuse treatment programs in state and local correctional and detention facilities and To create and maintain community-based aftercare services for offenders. By modestly increasing funding for this proven program, OJP will assist states and local jurisdictions with improving services for offenders with substance abuse programs and increasing the number of offenders served.

These grants would be awarded and administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) in consultation with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Justification In June 2010, HHS awarded grants to states and health systems to implement and evaluate patient safety approaches and medical liability reforms. The FY 2013 President’s Budget aims to build on the existing grants at HHS and provide additional incentives to states to implement various reforms in their medical malpractice systems.
