    This action is authorized under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe

Background

    The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is soliciting proposals for 
an evaluation of the Judicial Oversight Demonstration Initiative. The 
Judicial Oversight Demonstration Initiative, a collaboration between 
NIJ and the Violence Against Women Office (VAWO), is a program designed 
to reduce domestic violence through enhanced judicial oversight, victim 
safety, and offender accountability. This solicitation calls for a 
single evaluation to measure the added value resulting from the changes 
and enhancements made at each of the demonstration sites.
    The evaluation will consist of four phases--Methodological 
Refinement and Baseline Data Collection, Formative Evaluation, Process 
Evaluation, and Outcome/Impact Evaluation.
    This solicitation makes $500,000 available for the first stage of 
the multi-site evaluation. Up to $2.5 million is anticipated for the 
entire multi-year evaluation expected to extend to five years.
    Interested organizations should call the National Criminal Justice 
Reference Service (NCJRS) at 1-800-851-3420 to obtain a copy of 
``Evaluation of a Multi-site Demonstration for Enhanced Judicial 
Oversight of Domestic Violence Cases'' (refer to document no. 
SL000357). For World Wide Web access, connect to either NIJ at http://
