NIJ FY 13 Study of the Use of Residential Substance Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners Program Funds on Aftercare Services

NIJ seeks proposals for a study of the use of funds on aftercare services by the Department of Justice under the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) Program. The RSAT for State Prisoners Program funds formula grants to all 56 States and U.S. territories for support of residential, jail-based, and aftercare treatment services delivered to offenders with substance abuse problems by State and local providers. In 2008, Section 102(a) of the Second Chance Act (SCA) amended the RSAT Program funding legislation to require an aftercare component, and Section 102(c) mandated a study on aftercare services by NIJ.​
