Grant Program to Support State Judicial Outreach Liaisons (State JOLs)

archived

Summary: NHTSA plans to provide funding to SHSO�s and/or SJEs to maintain and/or expand current impaired driving and other traffic safety initiatives in their communities. The grants are designed to benefit State/local community judicial education programs. Through a competitive process, NHTSA will provide assistance for up to ten (10) JOL positions in an amount not to exceed $50,000.00 per position. The NHTSA funds will be used by the State to support a State JOL for a period of thirty (30) months. The State must contribute a 50-50 match funding and commit to the project beyond the grant agreement toward the cost for each State JOL position. Priority will be given to States that do not already have a State JOL or equivalent. SHSOs or SJE agencies applying for funding that have currently initiated State JOL models that are consistent with the on-going American Bar Association (ABA) Judicial Outreach Liaison program between the ABA and NHTSA can apply but will be given secondary priority for a new position.
