will guide the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) to demonstrate the program effectiveness and impact of NIC service delivery methods on the field of corrections.

NIC service delivery methods include responsive technical assistance, cooperative agreements (including pilot programs or demonstration projects), partnership training programs with individual agencies, multi-agency training programs, and collaboration and resource sharing forums and focus groups.

Ultimately, this initiative will enhance NICÂ’s ability to contribute to the knowledge about what works in corrections and evidence-based practices.

This project will be a collaborative venture with the National Institute of Corrections.
