Review of Best Practices for ICLI Program Areas and Funding Streams: Title II Formula Grants Program

Abstract

In an effort to assist the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) in improving criminal justice programming and policy development in Indiana, the Center for Criminal Justice Research (CCJR) entered into a two-year research partnership (beginning in June 2011) to perform critical data collection and analytical tasks in two broad research areas identified as priorities by ICJI. The scope of work includes 1) a review of best practices for each ICJI program area and 10 major funding streams, and 2) a statewide criminal justice data assessment.

This report describes best practices for subgrants awarded under the Title II Formula Grants (Title II) funding stream administered by ICJI. For this assessment, CCJR researchers consulted relevant materials from ICJI, including subgrantee award amounts for the previous two funding cycles, Title II subgrantee solicitation documents, and 2011 funded Title II subgrantee applications.
