Funding Opportunities: Technical Assistance to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction and the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission

Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) National Training and Technical Assistance Center (NTTAC) is seeking responses to two requests for proposals (RFPs) to provide technical assistance (TA) to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) and the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission (CJC).

The chosen provider will support ODRC TA to develop a centralized data repository that will gather, aggregate, and make available relevant probation data for state and local decisionmakers. The Provider will work with ODRC, in consultation with key stakeholders, to determine the use-cases, functionality, and other necessary components of the repository. The TTA will also include an implementation plan that stakeholders can execute to adopt recommendations. For information on ODRC, the TA deliverables, instructions to apply, and criteria used to evaluate each response, click here to view the RFP. 

The Oregon CJC is seeking TA from a multi-disciplinary team to develop a plan for implementing a successful evidence-based sentencing model in two counties, measure performance, and conduct process evaluations. The Oregon CJC seeks to further the goals of Oregon’s Justice Reinvestment Initiative while creating a system that could be replicated in other counties around the state.

If you have any questions, please contact BJA Project Coordinator James Lah at BJANTTAC@ojp.usdoj.gov or 1-833-872-5174. All responses for both RFPs are due by 5 p.m. EST on March 20, 2015.
