The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is offering this grant to fund a comprehensive evaluation of selected adult demonstration projects. These projects were funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) under the Second Chance Act (SCA) of 2007. This Act, signed into law in 2008, aims to enhance reentry programming for offenders returning to their families and communities. This grant is for the purpose of measuring the processes, outcomes, costs, and impacts of these BJA-funded programs. Furthermore, the evaluation will assess the overall effectiveness of the Second Chance Act in achieving its primary goal of reducing recidivism among released prisoners. Applications are sought to contribute to a deeper understanding of successful reentry strategies and policy impacts.
