The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to create and provide state and local criminal justice policy teams or pretrial services agencies with an implementation toolkit using A Framework for Pretrial Justice: Essential Elements of a Pretrial System and Agency Implementation. Some pretrial essential elements may need revisions based on changes in case law, state statutes, research evidence, standards, and organizational theory/implementation science. This new toolkit will be called “Essential Elements of a Pretrial System and Agency Toolkit.”

The foundation for the development of the Essential Elements of a Pretrial System and Agency Toolkit shall be based on four elements: (1) the law, (2) pretrial standards adopted by the ABA and NAPSA, (3) pretrial system/services research and LEBP, and (4) organizational theory/implementation science.

NIC supports the use of policy teams or other collaborative criminal justice teams to achieve meaningful and sustained pretrial system and agency improvements. The awardee is encouraged to leverage NIC’s Evidence-Based Decision Making (EBDM) and Criminal Justice Coordinating Council resources with the development of the Essential Elements of a Pretrial System and Agency Toolkit.

As people harmed by domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking seek expanded options to address the harm they have experienced, communities have continued to strengthen and improve their responses, approaches, and services. One such approach is restorative practices.  Restorative practices incorporate an understanding of trauma and are intended to repair and address the harm experienced while providing meaningful accountability for the harm-doer. An effective restorative practices program is completely voluntary for the person harmed, promotes their autonomy, and prioritizes their safety, while promoting meaningful justice, accountability, and community safety.  

The Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization Act of 2022, 34 U.S.C. § 12514, authorizes funding to eligible entities to develop and implement a program, or to assess best practices for: 1) restorative practices to prevent or address domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking; 2) training by eligible entities, or for eligible entities, courts or prosecutors, on restorative practices and program implementation; and 3) evaluations of a restorative practice, as defined within the statute.  Accordingly, OVW is launching the Restorative Practices Pilot Program in three (3) phases: 1) Training and Technical Assistance; 2) Evaluation; and 3) Pilot Sites.

Phase 3: Pilot Sites (this solicitation) -- This Restorative Practices Pilot Sites Program is a 60-month funding opportunity seeking to support, strengthen, enhance, and expand existing restorative practice programs that prevent or address domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, in accordance with the “restorative practices” definition at 34 U.S.C. § 12514(a)(3), and build evidence for victimcentered, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive restorative practices addressing these harms. 

OVW estimates that it will make up to 15 awards for an estimated $23,000,000. Awards under this program for FY 2024 will be made for up to $1,500,000.
