The performance period runs from March 1, 2026, through February 28, 2029, with work performed in Indianapolis, Indiana. This Project Grant supports SORNA implementation at the state level, aligned with the program's goal of protecting the public from convicted sex offenders by establishing comprehensive standards and a national sex offender registration and notification system.
