Now Available: Upholding the Rule of Law and Preventing Wrongful Convictions Program Solicitation

The FY24 Upholding the Rule of Law and Preventing Wrongful Convictions Program funding opportunity is now available.

With this solicitation, the Bureau of Justice Assistance seeks to support efforts by both wrongful conviction review (WCR) entities that represent individuals with postconviction claims of innocence to review individual cases, and conviction integrity or review units (CIUs) to enhance criminal justice system integrity.

This opportunity also includes a category to select a training and technical assistance (TTA) provider to ensure WCR and CIUs entities and the field obtain the skills, training, and information on the latest practices to safeguard the integrity of convictions and support post-conviction review of claims of wrongful convictions. The TTA provider will also build and maintain a database for the field on exonerations.

Learn more about this opportunity and apply by the posted deadlines.
