Timeline attachment.xlsx

This is a project timeline attachment for the South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services (SCDPPPS) Grant Evaluation, outlining a comprehensive 16-quarter implementation schedule spanning from October 2022 through December 2026. The timeline encompasses three primary phases: Planning Stage (Q1-Q2), Implementation Stage (Q3-Q12), and Evaluation Stage (Q13-Q16). Key deliverables include securing technical assistance providers, developing a Bureau of Justice Assistance action plan, establishing target populations and comparison groups, upgrading the Offender Management System (OMS) per evaluation methodology, securing memorandums of agreement, and implementing the Specialized Caseloads' Sanctions and Incentives Pilot Program (SCSIPP). The Project Director holds primary responsibility for planning-stage activities, including data collection review, OMS system analysis, and hiring key personnel such as a program coordinator and evaluator.

The implementation and evaluation phases assign primary responsibility to the Program Coordinator for executing operational tasks including OMS upgrades, victim notification process implementation, statewide evidence-based practices training, matrix development and training, administrative hearing officer recruitment, and continuous program improvements. Critical implementation activities include securing an OMS upgrade vendor, adding SCSIPP conditions to target population sentencing documentation, conducting data analysis for final evaluation reports, and developing sustainability plans based on evaluation findings. The timeline reflects a structured approach to pilot program implementation with embedded evaluation mechanisms, sustainability planning, and evidence-based practice integration throughout the four-year project period.
