IASAP Grantees

During the program’s first year, 25 tribes were eligible to apply under three funding categories, including law enforcement, treatment, or a combined/comprehensive component. Inasmuch as BJA had sufficient resources to support all eligible applicants, each received a grant. In FY 2003, based upon feedback from the field, BJA modified the program so that submissions focused solely on the development and implementation of a comprehensive, system wide strategy to reduce and control crime associated with the distribution and abuse of alcohol and controlled substances. While program goals and objectives remained similar, award amounts were increased and the project period was extended.

In FY 2003, 2004, and 2005, BJA received a total of approximately 80 submissions and awarded 25 grants. For those tribes not receiving awards, BJA initiated a process whereby resources have been set aside to help offset costs if they elected to participate in the program’s technical assistance and training events.

The following information provides a listing of all tribes funded through the IASAP by year, and includes a summary of the technical assistance goals, as well as each tribe’s proposal problem statements, goals, objectives, and key needs.

2002 IASAP - CIQUOL

A 2-year funding period applied to all 2002 grant awards. To support the 25 tribes funded under the FY2002 solicitation, FVTC, in partnership with the University of North Dakota Tribal Judicial Institute and The National Judicial College Tribal Judicial Center developed the “CIQUOL” project, which can be paralleled to sequel and reflected this initiative as the continuation of the collaboration of partners from federal agencies, grantee communities, and technical assistance providers, as established on other projects. This initiative will provide for the partners to:

deliver training on tribal community planning, building and sustaining partnerships, mobilizing communities, drug and alcohol treatment, day-to-day project management, and other topics as directed by BJA.

coordinate conferences, cluster workshops, and provide technical assistance to grantees.

evaluate the grant implementation process, including evaluation of training sessions and cluster workshops. Evaluation results will be presented in the interim reports, and provide the basis for a detailed after-action report.

coordinate communications and serve as a communication liaison network between the service providers, the state and federal agencies, the advisory forum, and the grantees.

develop a web-based network for grantee and technical assistance provider communications, information on supporting agencies, trainings and technical assistance notifications and updates, and links to additional relevant resources.

This collaborative training and technical assistance project to support the 2003 Indian Alcohol and Substance Abuse Demonstration Program will utilize the expertise of the partnering agencies to accomplish the following primary goals:

Goal 1: Establish an advisory forum to assist with the curriculum design for project-sponsored conferences.

Goal 2: Design evaluation tools to assess the performance of grantees as well as performance and outcomes of this project.

Goal 3: Deliver three national training conferences for grantees.

Goal 4: Deliver six regional team training events for grantees.

Goal 5: Provide technical assistance through nine cluster workshops and direct technical assistance.

Goal 6: Provide a networking and communication forum for grantees including related partners and consultants to share information about concerns, progress of projects, technical assistance and assessment needs, as well as information on grant-related events.

Goal 7: Deliver interim reports, training reports, and an extensive after-action report to BJA on the successful outcomes of the project and lessons learned for replication in future initiatives.

Goal 8: Provide additional support to the grantees as directed by BJA.

This BJA demonstration project will build upon past successes and the knowledge gained from existing programs to provide meaningful technical assistance to the selected grantees. It is important to note that the inequity of resources among and between tribes is a problem faced by Indian communities who attempt to launch an effort of this nature; some groups have a variety of resources while other have few. Although each community has many similarities, there are unique aspects that must be honored and factored into a program that is customized to their particular needs. Technical assistance must be tailor-made to each community, based upon an assessment of their capacity to incorporate key elements of a success strategy.
