THESE CORE PARTNERS OF THE NCORJ ARE JOINED IN THIS APPLICATION BY THE CENTER FOR JUSTICE INNOVATION (FORMERLY THE CENTER FOR COURT INNOVATION), WHICH WILL PLAY A KEY ROLE IN PROVIDING INTENSIVE TTA FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE AGENCIES AND SUPPORTING THE SUBAWARD RECIPIENTS TO ESTABLISH NEW RESTORATIVE JUSTICE PROGRAMS.

THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOUR ONLINE MODULES TAILORED TO DIFFERENT SYSTEM ACTOR GROUPS AS WELL AS THROUGH PROVIDING INTENSIVE TTA TO CRIMINAL JUSTICE AGENCIES IN THE FORM OF A THREE-DAY IN-PERSON TRAINING. THE SECOND OBJECTIVE IS TO BUILD ON THE NCORJS WORK ADVANCING RESTORATIVE JUSTICE IN HIGHER EDUCATION TO TRANSLATE RESTORATIVE JUSTICE CURRICULUM TO UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH HOSTING SUMMER GATHERINGS TO ADVANCE RESTORATIVE JUSTICE EDUCATION IN TRIBAL COLLEGES AND HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES (HBCUS), AND THROUGH DEVELOPING AN UNDERGRADUATE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM IN RESTORATIVE JUSTICE AND IMPLEMENTING IT AT COMMUNITY COLLEGES AROUND THE COUNTRY. THE THIRD OBJECTIVE IS TO PROVIDE SUBAWARDS AND IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORT TO ESTABLISH NEW RESTORATIVE JUSTICE PROGRAMS. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH DEVELOPING A COMPETITIVE SUBAWARD PROCESS AND MAKING AWARDS TO COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CRIMINAL JUSTICE AGENCIES TO ESTABLISH NEW RESTORATIVE JUSTICE PROGRAMS. THE SUBAWARD RECIPIENTS WILL BE SUPPORTED WITH INTENSIVE TTA PROVIDED BY THE CENTER FOR JUSTICE INNOVATION. THE FOURTH OBJECTIVE IS TO LEAD RESEARCH ACTIVITIES FOCUSED ON IDENTIFYING PROMINENT RESTORATIVE JUSTICE APPLICATIONS BEING USED IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM TODAY AND APPROACHES TO MEASURING EFFICACY. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH A COMMUNITY-BASED APPROACH AND EXPANSION OF THE NCORJS EMPIRICAL OVERVIEW AND CORE ELEMENTS PROJECTS, WITH SUPPORT AND RESOURCES PROVIDED TO ENSURE THE DEVELOPMENT OF ACCESSIBLE DISSEMINATION OF FINDINGS TO A WIDER PUBLIC.
