About this opportunity
The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking applicants for a Judicial Tools to Combat Impaired Driving Cooperative Agreement. The purpose of this opportunity is to deliver and improve judicial training and develop tools for DWI court teams and judges presiding over impaired driving cases in non-DWI courts to reduce recidivism. Key activities include assessing barriers to DWI court implementation, developing a toolkit and training to start new DWI courts, studying non-DWI courts to identify best practices, and creating a toolkit and training for non-DWI court judges. Applications are due by October 4, 2024, and the anticipated award date is February 2025.
This opportunity has up to $7,000,000 in total funding available to support one discretionary Cooperative Agreement. The performance period is not specified, but the funding is provided under NHTSA's Discretionary Safety Grants program (CFDA #20.614), which typically supports projects ranging from 1 to 5 years in duration. The place of performance is not restricted.
Synopsis
Impaired driving is a leading contributor to motor vehicle crash fatalities and injuries. Data show many of these fatalities involve drivers who drank to BACs of .15 and above and or are repeat offenders. Changing the behavior of these high-risk drivers is an important component towards making future improvements in reducing recidivism, and ultimately fatalities and injuries caused by impaired driving. This program will provide training to both DWI Court teams and Judges presiding over impaired driving cases in non-DWI Courts to improve outcomes in adjudication and post-adjudication processes/treatment to reduce recidivism.
The purpose of this Agreement is to deliver and improve judicial training and develop tools for use by the DWI court field, as well as judges presiding over DUI cases in non-DWI Courts. The judicial training focuses on elements of DWI courts that a judge can use effectively to reduce impaired driving recidivism including screening and assessment, therapeutic alliance skills, individualized sentencing, and motivational interviewing.
