Grant Description: BJA and the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) are supporting this multisite Demonstration Field Experiment (DFE) in an effort to enhance public safety and to improve the outcomes of probationers. This DFE will combine a multisite demonstration of the Hawaii HOPE model with a rigorous experimental evaluation in an applied setting. This DFE will consist of a randomized controlled trial (RCT), in which the costs associated with program implementation will be funded by BJA, and costs associated with the evaluation will be funded by NIJ.This solicitation is being developed as part of the Smart Probation initiative, and may be funded under the Second Chance Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-199, Sec 245). The Smart Probation initiative is intended to: (a) improve supervision strategies that will reduce recidivism; (b) promote and increase collaboration among agencies and officials who work in probation and related fields; and (c) develop and implement strategies to improve the outcomes of high-risk probationers that can be used throughout the nation.For additional information about the Second Chance Act, go to: frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=110_cong_public_laws&docid=f:publ199.110.pdf.
