BJA FY 13 Residential Substance Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners Training and Technical Assistance Program

The Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) for State Prisoners Program (42 U.S.C. § 3796ff et. seq.) assists states and local governments to develop and implement substance abuse treatment programs in state, local, and tribal correctional and detention facilities and to create and maintain community-based aftercare and reentry services for offenders. The RSAT Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Program is designed to assist RSAT recipients as they integrate evidence-based practices into existing programming through the provision of training and technical assistance.

Eligible applicants are limited to for-profit (commercial) organizations, nonprofit organizations, faith-based and community organizations, and institutions of higher learning with demonstrated expertise in assisting state and local correctional facilities develop, implement, and enhance residential substance abuse treatment programs. BJA encourages applications from organizations or agencies with expert knowledge of and experience with: evidence-based substance abuse treatment programs and practices; residential substance abuse programs in correctional facilities; delivery of curricula to corrections and treatment professionals; and administration of technical assistance. Applicants should demonstrate willingness to work with BJA and its federal partners as well as a collaborative of BJA training and technical assistance providers. For-profit organizations must agree to waive any profit or fees for services. Collaborative efforts and consortiums of providers may apply.
