Washington, DC 20531 Janet Reno Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice John C. Dwyer Acting Associate Attorney General Laurie Robinson Assistant Attorney General Jeremy Travis Director, National Institute of Justice Justice Information Center World Wide Web Site http://www.ncjrs.org ------------------------------------------------------- Local Evaluations of the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners Program (1998) I. Introduction The National Institute of Justice (NIJ), in collaboration with the Office of Justice Programs' Corrections Program Office (CPO), continues to assemble a portfolio of evaluation projects to provide a comprehensive assessment of the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners (RSAT) program. The portfolio is designed to include: 1) a national evaluation, providing an overview of the entire program and identifying potential model programs; 2) locally conducted process evaluations, providing a detailed look at specific programs; and 3) locally conducted outcome evaluations of programs where process evaluation has indicated that the program holds promise and an outcome evaluation is warranted. This solicitation pertains to locally conducted process and outcome evaluations. Two categories of evaluations are sought: o Local process evaluations of RSAT programs in individual States, to be funded at up to $60,000 each for up to 15 months. Applications may be submitted under one of the following two cycles: May 5, 1998 deadline or September 15, 1998 deadline. o Local outcome evaluations of RSAT programs in individual States, to be funded at up to $100,000 each for up to 24 months. Eligibility for outcome evaluation awards is limited to applicants who have previously been awarded an RSAT local process evaluation. Applications may be submitted under one of the following three cycles: April 14, 1998 deadline, August 18, 1998 deadline or February 16, 1999 deadline. Locally conducted evaluations will represent collaborative partnerships between researchers and pertinent State agencies. All local evaluations shall be coordinated with the ongoing national evaluation of the RSAT program, as described below. The evaluations will be conducted through cooperative agreements between the grantees and NIJ. The local outcome evaluations will be funded through supplements to existing process evaluation awards. NIJ, with input from CPO, will consult with awardees concerning study design, data collection, and other factors. This document includes: o Information on the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners Program. o Solicitation of proposals. o Application information. o How to obtain application materials and information on requirements for evaluation award recipients. o How to obtain information on the ongoing national evaluation. ------------------------------------------------------- II. Background The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, codified at 42 U.S.C. 3796 ff, as amended (the Act), authorizes programs to support both treatment and sanctions of drug-using and violent offenders. The Residential Substance Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners (RSAT) Formula Grant Program, created by Subtitle U of the Act, addresses the treatment goal by providing funding for the development of substance abuse treatment programs in State and local correctional facilities. States are encouraged to adopt comprehensive approaches to substance abuse treatment for offenders, including relapse prevention and aftercare services. The Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Program is administered by the Office of Justice Program's Corrections Program Office, U.S. Department of Justice. In Fiscal Year 1996, $27 million was appropriated for this program; in Fiscal Year 1997 $30 million was appropriated. Authorized funding for subsequent years is as follows: FY 1998: $63,000,000; FY 1999: $72,000,000; and FY 2000: $72,000,000. RSAT grant awards have been made to the State Office designated under Section 507 of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act to administer the Edward Byrne Memorial State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance Formula Grant Program. Grant funds are allocated to the States using the following formula: o Each participating State is allocated a base amount of 0.4 percent of the total funds available for the program. o The remaining funds are allocated to each participating State on the basis of the ratio of the State prison population of such State to the total prison population of all participating States. National Prisoner Statistics collected by the Bureau of Justice Statistics will be used to make these allocations. FY 1997 allocations are listed in Appendix A. The Federal share of a grant funded project may not exceed 75 percent of the total costs of the project. Also, formula grant funds shall be used to supplement, not supplant, non-Federal funds that would otherwise be available for activities under this program. The awards will be made for the fiscal year of the appropriation, plus two additional years. The Residential Substance Abuse Treatment formula grant funds may be used to implement residential substance abuse programs that provide individual and group treatment activities for inmates in residential facilities operated by State and local correctional agencies. Programs must: o last between 6 and 12 months; o be provided in residential treatment facilities set apart from the general correctional population (set apart means a totally separate facility or a dedicated housing unit within a facility exclusively for use by program participants); o be directed at the substance abuse problems of the inmate; and o be intended to develop the inmate's cognitive, behavioral, social, vocational, and other skills so as to solve the substance abuse and related problems. States are required to give preference to subgrant applicants who will provide aftercare services to program participants. These services must involve coordination between the correctional treatment program and other human/social service and rehabilitation programs. Participation in the residential substance abuse treatment program should be limited to inmates who have 6 to 12 months remaining to be served in confinement so that they can be released from prison after completing the treatment program rather than being returned to the general prison population prior to release from correctional supervision. In designing and implementing the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Formula Grant Program, States are required to ensure coordination between correctional representatives and alcohol and drug abuse agencies at the State and, if appropriate, local levels. This should include coordination between activities initiated under RSAT and the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant provided by the Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Each State, as well as the individual RSAT project, is required to submit a report not later than March 1 of each fiscal year. The reports include a summary of the activities carried out with formula grant funds, an assessment of the impact of such activities in meeting the goals of the program, and the results of any program or project evaluations. The Annual Evaluation Report Summary form and the Individual Project Report form are attached as Appendix B. Further details about the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners Program can be found in the Program Guidance and Application Kit, which is available on the Internet at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/cpo or can be requested from the Corrections Program Office by calling (202) 307-3914 or (800) 848-6325. Applicants with questions about the RSAT Program may also call these numbers for further information. ------------------------------------------------------- III. Areas of Research Required This section solicits proposals for local evaluations of RSAT programs in individual States. By focusing on programs in individual States, local evaluations are designed to complement the ongoing national evaluation. The national evaluation is assessing the entire RSAT Program and will include information pertaining to programs in all participating States. The national evaluation will also serve to coordinate the local evaluations, thereby enhancing their utility. As described below, local evaluations will be required to cooperate and collaborate with the national evaluation. Contacts for obtaining more information about the national evaluation are provided in the final section of this Solicitation. Local Process Evaluations It is anticipated that, in each of two cycles, up to 10 awards will be made for new local process evaluations of programs in individual States. Each of these local process evaluation awards will be funded in the amount of up to $60,000 for a period of up to 15 months. Preference will be given to those Principal Investigators not currently receiving NIJ funds to conduct a local process evaluation (not including any supplemental outcome evaluation). These funds are intended to encourage multiple, non-redundant evaluations and build research capacity in this topic area. Preference will also be given to evaluations of programs in States in which local evaluations are not currently being conducted. Local evaluations are currently being conducted in California, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. Local evaluations should be designed to examine individual programs in more detail than the scope of the national evaluation or the standard State annual reports. Local evaluations may focus on all participating programs in an individual State, on some subset of programs in an individual State, or on a single program. Local evaluation awards will be chosen to reflect a broad spectrum of programs, including programs for adults, juveniles, males or females; State correctional facilities and local jails; programs based on different theoretical approaches; and programs in different regions of the United States. Some discretion is provided with regard to the specific topics associated with these evaluations. Such topical discretion is afforded so that the evaluations can address topics of importance in the individual States. Applicants must describe why the proposed topics are important and how the proposed evaluation will address them. Because programs differ in intensity and duration, measurement of program characteristics is needed. Examples of topics that might be included in local process evaluations are the number of program participants and the proportion of participants who successfully complete the program; supplemental demographic and other information about participants; service and treatment components; and in-prison performance of participants on pertinent dimensions. In order to prepare for potential outcome evaluations, process evaluation designs are encouraged that: o allow and prepare for subsequent outcome evaluation; o incorporate some meaningful comparison group; and o use valid and reliable measurement tools. As described below, NIJ anticipates providing three cycles of future funding to a limited number of local process evaluation grantees to conduct outcome evaluations. Any such future funding will be based on the promise shown by both the program and the local evaluation, in terms of advancing the field of residential substance abuse treatment. Participating States in which NIJ-funded local evaluations are conducted will still be required to submit standard annual reports and participate in national evaluation activities. All local evaluations must, to the extent possible, be conducted in collaboration and cooperation with the national evaluation. Such collaboration and cooperation may include, but is not limited to, use of common data elements and standardized data formats; data sharing; participation in planning conferences; and coordination of presentation of findings. Contacts for obtaining more information about the national evaluation are provided in the final section of this Solicitation. Applicants will be expected to participate in semi-annual cluster conferences, and will be invited to other federally-sponsored conferences and workshops as appropriate. The costs of these federally sponsored meetings will be covered by additional non-grant funds. Applications for the local evaluation awards will be accepted from researchers in academic or non-academic settings, including government agencies. Applicants must describe how the local evaluation will be conducted in a credible and objective manner, independent of institutions operating the programs, and must affirm that they have obtained the cooperation of participating State and local institutions by providing letters of agreement from program operators. An essential part of NIJ's overall evaluation strategy is to encourage and support the development of improved research and evaluation capability within State and local criminal justice systems. Recognizing that most operational agencies neither have nor can afford substantial in-house research and evaluation expertise, NIJ encourages partnerships between these agencies and research institutions. The purpose of these partnerships is to stimulate collaborative efforts with the goal of developing lasting relationships. NIJ encourages partnerships between researchers and State Departments of Correction, State correctional institutions, or other pertinent agencies. Agencies and researchers are encouraged to develop and submit collaborative applications. As described above, program grant awards are made to the State Office designated under Section 507 of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act to administer the Edward Byrne Memorial State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance Formula Grant Program. Prospective local evaluation grant applicants may obtain descriptions of funded program from the pertinent State Office. A list of the cognizant State Offices is attached as Appendix C. Applicants should specify under which cycle they are submitting their proposal for review. Applications must include staffing, timelines, and milestones. Applicants must satisfy the requirements described in the Requirements for Award Recipients; required grant products include a 2,500 word summary, a full technical report, automated data sets, and brief summaries for use by NIJ in preparing annual reports to the President and the Congress. Local Outcome Evaluations It is anticipated that, in each of three cycles, up to 5 awards will be made for new local outcome evaluations of RSAT programs in individual States. Each of these awards is expected to be funded in the amount of up to $100,000 and for a period of up to 24 months. These funds are intended to encourage multiple, non-redundant evaluations and build research capacity in this topic area. Not including the process evaluations, preference will be given to Principal Investigators who have not received NIJ funds to conduct a local outcome evaluation. It is expected that the outcome evaluations will address the same programs included in the local process evaluations, and that the outcome evaluations will build upon the process evaluations. Outcome evaluations may focus on all participating programs in an individual State or locality, on some subset of programs in an individual State or locality, or on a single State or local program. Local outcome evaluation awards will be chosen to reflect a broad spectrum of programs, including programs for adults, juveniles, males or females; state correctional facilities and local jails; programs based on different theoretical approaches; and programs in different regions of the United States. Applicants should describe in detail their plans for conducting rigorous, important and innovative outcome evaluations. Factors of interest include but are not limited to: o availability of appropriate comparison group, and information pertaining to the services or treatment received in lieu of the RSAT program; o samples of a size large enough to permit adequate analytic techniques; o access to computerized data reporting systems or management information systems; o access to client risk assessment, needs assessment, and other diagnostic information; o access to information on client status, participation and progress in the RSAT program; o access to relevant outcome data, such as behavioral indicators, arrest records, substance abuse measures, and employment data; o quality of proposed measures, in terms of appropriateness, validity, and reliability. Applicants should describe in sufficient detail the treatment model of the RSAT program to be evaluated, the proposed outcome evaluation design and analysis plan, and how the design and analysis plan pertain to the treatment model. Applicants should describe how clients are assigned or selected for the RSAT program group versus the comparison group, and the implications for analysis. Applicants should address how clients who begin but do not complete the RSAT program will be included in analyses. Applicants should describe how they will conduct the local outcome evaluation and interact with participating institutions, and also describe how the local outcome evaluation will be conducted in a credible and objective manner, independent of institutions operating the programs. Finally, applicants need to address how they will protect the rights of their research subjects, including those in the comparison group as well as those in the RSAT program. The national evaluation is serving to coordinate the local evaluations, thereby enhancing their utility. Local outcome evaluators will be required to cooperate and collaborate with the national evaluation. Such collaboration and cooperation may include, but is not limited to, use of common data elements and standardized data formats; data sharing; participation in planning conferences; and coordination of presentation of findings. Contacts for obtaining more information about the national evaluation are provided in the final section of this Solicitation. Participating States in which NIJ-funded local outcome evaluations are conducted will still be required to submit standard annual reports and participate in national evaluation activities. One goal of the national evaluation is to identify a small number of RSAT programs that would be the subjects of a national outcome evaluation which CPO and NIJ anticipate funding, leading to the development of 'model programs.' This identification process will build on the national evaluation's survey of all RSAT programs, and will include site visits and collection of supplemental data. Because of their focus on individual States, the local evaluations are intended to be complementary to the national evaluation, providing varying perspectives on promising RSAT programs. Programs that are the subject of local outcome evaluations will not be selected as subjects for the national outcome evaluation. Nonetheless, all programs are equally eligible for recognition as model programs whether they are identified and assessed in the national evaluation or a local outcome evaluation. Recognizing that most operational agencies neither have nor can afford substantial in-house research and evaluation expertise, NIJ encourages partnerships between these agencies and research institutions. The purpose of these partnerships is to stimulate collaborative efforts with the goal of developing lasting relationships, to encourage and support the development of improved research and evaluation capability within state and local criminal justice systems. NIJ encourages partnerships between researchers and state Departments of Correction, state correctional institutions, or other pertinent agencies. Agencies and researchers are encouraged to develop and submit collaborative applications. Applications for the local outcome evaluation awards will be accepted from researchers in academic or non-academic settings, including government agencies, who are receiving NIJ funds to conduct a local process evaluation of an RSAT program. Applicants must affirm that they have obtained the cooperation of participating state and local institutions by providing letters of agreement from program operators. Letters of agreement should explicitly indicate the programs' willingness to participate in an outcome evaluation, as distinct from the process evaluation. Applicants will be expected to participate in semi-annual cluster conferences, and will be invited to other federally-sponsored conferences and workshops as appropriate. The costs of these federally-sponsored meetings will be covered by additional non-grant funds. Applicants should specify under which cycle they are submitting their proposal for review. Applications must include staffing, timelines, and milestones. Applicants must satisfy the requirements described in the Requirements for Award Recipients; required grant products include a 2,500 word summary, a full technical report, automated data sets, and brief summaries for use by NIJ in preparing annual reports to the President and the Congress. ------------------------------------------------------- IV.
