Prosecutor Resources

Announcement of a Request for Applications (RFA) is to provide assistance to improve the quality of justice in traffic safety adjudication -particularly impaired driving cases - by providing training, technical assistance and reference services to prosecutors across the United States. Competition under this RFA is limited to National non-profit organizations. One (1) award is anticipated for this project not to exceed $3,000,000.00 total. The purpose of this Cooperative Agreement (CA) is to provide assistance to a national organization that represents prosecutors who try impaired driving cases so that the organization may be better able to support its membership through training and technical assistance, as well as the development of training materials and relevant resources for prosecutors in towns, counties, and States across the country. The organization will develop materials and disseminate information about the prosecution of impaired driving cases to its membership, Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutors, relevant stakeholders, and other interested parties as needed to promote the role and importance of prosecutors in successfully prosecuting impaired driving cases. A representative or representatives from the organization or their designee(s) will participate in outreach to other members of the criminal justice system and traffic safety community to highlight the important role of the prosecutor, with the goal of sharing information about these complex case sand growing an understanding of and support for the technical nature of impaired driving cases. NHTSA also seeks an organization that will look to the future and identify any unforeseen needs of prosecutors who try impaired driving cases, as well as ways prosecutors can continue to be effective in prosecuting impaired driving. Alternative approaches and techniques used in the prosecution of impaired driving cases, as appropriate, would also be considered. The selected organization needs to both develop the ideas and determine the budget required to execute them as necessary. The objective of this project is to improve prosecutorial outcomes in impaired driving cases, specifically by providing financial support to an organization dedicated to training, technical assistance, information sharing, and development for and among the prosecutors who handle these cases. Specifically, the funding provided by NHTSA would provide financial support to allow an organization to provide information, training, and guidance for prosecutors, and provide direct technical assistance to prosecutors on issues relating to impaired driving cases.
