Opportunity Summary:
The Grant Program to Support State Judicial Outreach Liaisons (State JOLs) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) intended to strengthen state and local judicial education tied to impaired driving and broader traffic safety efforts. The core goal is to help states maintain and expand community-level traffic safety initiatives by supporting a dedicated State Judicial Outreach Liaison position, which is meant to connect and coordinate judicial education activities with statewide highway safety priorities.
NHTSA planned to make up to ten awards, each supporting one State JOL position at a funding level not to exceed $50,000 per position. The grant support is designed to cover a 30-month period for each funded JOL role. In total, the estimated funding available for the program was $500,000, reflecting the cap of ten positions at the $50,000 maximum. While the opportunity is framed as a research and development activity category (Science and Technology and other Research and Development), the practical emphasis is on program support and capacity-building for judicial outreach and education that advances traffic safety outcomes.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, specifically State Highway Safety Offices (SHSOs) and/or State Judicial Educators (SJEs) or comparable state entities positioned to run or support judicial education programming. A key requirement is cost sharing: states must provide a 50/50 match, meaning they are expected to contribute funding equal to the federal amount for each position. In addition to the match, states must also commit to sustaining the work beyond the period of the grant agreement, signaling that NHTSA wanted these positions to become longer-term parts of state traffic safety and judicial education infrastructure rather than short-term hires that end when federal funding ends.
Selection is competitive, and the program places a clear priority on states that do not already have a State JOL or an equivalent role. States that have already begun implementing a State JOL model consistent with the ongoing American Bar Association (ABA) Judicial Outreach Liaison program (a partnership between the ABA and NHTSA) are still allowed to apply, but applications for a new position from those states would receive secondary priority compared to states starting from scratch. This priority structure indicates the program was designed not only to strengthen existing efforts, but also to expand the State JOL concept into states where that judicial outreach capacity did not yet exist.
Administrative details for the opportunity include the funding opportunity number DTNH22-11-R-00480 and CFDA number 20.614 (NHTSA Discretionary Safety Grants). The opportunity was posted on April 28, 2011, with an application deadline of May 27, 2011, and an archive date of June 26, 2011.
