The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) is seeking applications for a training and technical assistance provider to support site-based grantees working to reduce violent crime in rural areas.
Goal: The overarching goal of the TTA award is to provide site-based grantees, as well as microgrant recipients selected in collaboration with BJA, with assistance to develop and implement sound rural violence reduction plans. TTA should be designed to help localities optimize, effectively document, and share their efforts to reduce rural violence problems that are affecting their jurisdictions.
Objectives
Specific objectives the TTA provider should address are:
- Develop a plan to identify 10 law enforcement agency subrecipients that will develop small-scale strategies to reduce violence in their jurisdiction.
- Assist site-based grantees in achieving their deliverables and objectives.
- Work collaboratively with each site-based awardee agency and microgrant recipient to implement their strategy and deploy resources. The TTA provider will distribute allocated funding to subrecipient agencies based on project timelines and those agencies’ planned purchases and deployment of resources.
- Compile a description of all the crime reduction strategies implemented by the site-based awardees and TTA awardees. Including a cross-sectional analysis of these strategies, their impact, how they may be replicated, and implications for practice.
- Establish regular briefings and meetings with BJA policy staff to discuss TTA plans, achievements, work products, and adjustments.
- Provide a monthly summary of achievements and products.
