Opportunity Information: Apply for O NIJ 2023 171855
This National Institute of Justice (NIJ) FY 2023 opportunity is a continuation grant solicitation from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs (OJP), focused on evaluating the technical assistance (TA) that the Department of Justice provides to Second Chance Act (SCA) grantees. The central purpose is to meet a specific federal mandate to assess the quality and effectiveness of that technical assistance in helping grantees implement their SCA-funded programs. In practical terms, the project is meant to examine whether the support DOJ provides to grantees (guidance, training, tools, troubleshooting, and other implementation help) is timely, useful, equitable, and actually improves program delivery and outcomes.
The solicitation explicitly ties this work to OJP priorities that emphasize civil rights and racial equity, increasing access to justice, supporting crime victims and people impacted by the justice system, strengthening community safety, protecting the public from evolving threats, and building trust between law enforcement and communities. Within that broader context, the evaluation is intended to generate credible evidence about how well DOJ technical assistance functions as an implementation support strategy, and where it may need improvement to better serve the varied jurisdictions and populations reached through Second Chance Act grants.
The statutory basis for the project is rooted in the First Step Act of 2018, which includes language requiring an evaluation of "the quality and effectiveness of technical assistance provided by the Department of Justice to grantees for implementing such programs." The solicitation cites that mandate through references including the First Step Act (Public Law 115-391) and related codified provisions (including references to 34 U.S.C. 60555 and notes tied to 34 U.S.C. 60501). It also references Title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (sections 201 and 202) and 28 U.S.C. 530C as additional authority supporting NIJ and DOJ research and evaluation functions.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as "NIJ FY 2023 Invited to Apply - Assessing the Effectiveness of the Second Chance Act Grant Program: Evaluation of the Quality and Effectiveness of Technical Assistance Provided to Second Chance Act Grantees" with funding opportunity number O-NIJ-2023-171855. It is categorized as a continuation opportunity and uses the grant funding instrument. The activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development, indicating the award is for research/evaluation work rather than direct service delivery. The CFDA/Assistance Listing number is 16.560, which corresponds to National Institute of Justice research, evaluation, and development activities.
In terms of scale and competition, the solicitation anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of $320,000. The posting shows a very short window between the creation date (August 9, 2023) and the original closing date (August 11, 2023), which is consistent with an "invited to apply" continuation action rather than an open, broad competition. Eligibility is listed as "Others," with clarification referenced as being contained in an additional eligibility information field (not included in the excerpt), again aligning with the likelihood that NIJ identified a specific recipient or a narrow set of eligible entities for this continuation.
Overall, this grant opportunity funds an evaluation designed to determine how effective DOJ-provided technical assistance is in supporting Second Chance Act grantees, with the goal of producing findings that can improve TA quality, strengthen implementation of reentry-related programs, and better align DOJ support with equity, access to justice, and public safety priorities.Apply for O NIJ 2023 171855
