Background
The National Institute of Justice, in collaboration with the Office

proposals in two research areas: a national evaluation of six juvenile
drug courts and general research and evaluation in either juvenile or
adult drug courts.
There are two goals for national evaluation of six juvenile drug
courts: To develop a framework for describing juvenile drug courts, and
to assess the success of juvenile drug courts in relation to the
framework developed. The six juvenile drug courts are located in
Orlando, FL; Missoula, MT; Jersey City, NJ; Las Cruces/Anthony, NM;
Dayton, OH/and Charleston, SC. These drug courts were funded in 1996-
1997.
It is anticipated that one award, not to exceed $700,000, will be
made for this evaluation, which is expected to be completed within 18
to 24 months.
The second area under this solicitation includes research and
evaluation projects addressing issues faced by the DCPO-funded adult
and/or juvenile drug courts. For these projects, four awards of up to
$250,000 are expected. Each of these awards may last up to 24 months.
Interested organizations should call the National Criminal Justice
Reference Service (NCJRS) at 1-800-851-3420 to obtain a copy of ``Drug
