Technical Assistance

The BJA Center for Program Evaluation has resources available to provide evaluation-related technical assistance (TA) to states. Technical assistance should help enhance the evaluation capacity of states in the area of criminal justice.

Technical assistance can take many forms including on-site trainings and written correspondence. State Administering Agencies and their subgrantees are eligible for technical assistance.

The following list includes examples of topics that would be appropriate for technical assistance:

• On-site training on basic evaluation concepts
• Assistance in developing and using performance measures
• Developing an evaluation plan for a program
• Initiating the development of a statewide strategy for performance measurement and evaluation

If you have any questions about technical assistance from the BJA Center for Program Evaluation please contact us at 202 842-9330 or mpoulin@jrsa.org.

Those interested in receiving technical assistance must complete a Training and Technical Assistance request form available on the BJA web site. Further information on the process for requesting technical assistance is available on the BJA web site.
