COLLATERAL CONSEQUENCES
NIJ is soliciting proposals for a national study that will provide a comprehensive compilation of Federal and State collateral consequences for criminal convictions. The purpose of this research is to inform and improve criminal justice policy and practice by providing policymakers with the information they need to understand the legal and regulatory barriers that may affect successful offender reentry into the community. Deadline: February 4, 2009.
CHRONIC DRUG USERS UNDER SUPERVISION
NIJ is seeking proposals for research to evaluate the effectiveness of a demonstration program that includes a drug-testing, sanctions, and treatment protocol for chronic drug users under criminal justice supervision in the community. The basic principles of the program must include: (1) frequent drug testing; (2) certain, swift, and proportionate sanctions for failed tests; and (3) access to residential treatment, as appropriate. The purpose of this research is to inform and improve criminal justice and public health policy and practice and to reduce recidivism among chronic drug offenders on pretrial status, probation, or parole. Deadline: February 4, 2009.
COMMUNITY AND FAITH-BASED OPPORTUNITY
The Department of Labor will award $5 million to community organizations under the Young Parents Demonstration programs to provide training in educational and occupational skills aiming to achieve economic self sufficiency within families. The program targets high risk young mothers and fathers as well as expectant mothers ages 16-24. Projects funded will serve young parents in specific categories, including those who are court-involved, in the child welfare or foster care system, homeless, or victims of child abuse. Young Parents Demonstration programs create innovative ways to serve this population, providing vocational skills but also academic work, personal attention and support services. This program is sponsored by the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration, working to provide substantial skills to young families to achieve personal economic sustainability. Deadline: November 17, 2008 at 4:30 p.m.
