This grant is for evaluating the effectiveness of programs funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance's Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program. It focuses on assessing various court and intervention programs, such as mental health and drug courts, to see how well they work. The evaluation will be done in two phases: first, checking if the programs can be evaluated, and second, actually evaluating their effectiveness.
Who it's for: This grant is for a wide range of applicants, including nonprofits, individuals, state and local governments, educational institutions, tribal governments, and for-profit organizations. Essentially, if you're involved in research or evaluation and can assess justice-related programs, you might qualify.
