operations, particularly at the State and local level.
The solicitation seeks not only proposals to develop, test and
implement criminal justice technologies, but also proposals to evaluate
the organizational and behavioral impacts of the use of specific
technologies in the criminal justice system. Successful proposals will
receive grant funding.
Proposals are expected to describe individual or public-private
partnership efforts to support and enhance or evaluate technologies for
application in the criminal justice system. NIJ expects to have $10
million to $15 million available to fund awards made under this
solicitation. There will be two proposal submittal deadline dates:
September 15, 1996, and November 1, 1996. However, award decisions for
the proposals submitted for the November 1 deadline will be based on
remaining funds available.
The ``Solicitation for Law Enforcement, Courts and Corrections
Technology Development, Implementation and Evaluation'' is expected to
be released by NIJ on August 1, 1996. Copies of the solicitation will
not be made available early, therefore interested parties should not
seek to obtain copies of the document prior to the release date. NIJ
will place a similar announcement in this publication upon release of
the solicitation.
