Indiana Department of Correction Justice Reinvestment Grant shifts to eCivis for Grant Management

In 2023, the State of Indiana adopted a new grants management system called eCivis. Part of a larger initiative to improve grants management in Indiana, eCivis will track grants from application to closeout, establishing a more effective framework for managing grants. All state agencies are required to use this new grants management system to manage state and federal grants and fulfill their federal grant recipient monitoring responsibilities.

Applicants for state grants from the Indiana Department of Correction will access grant solicitations via the SBA website or private link. Applications will be submitted electronically through the eCivis Grants Portal, and successful applicants will receive their award notices via eCivis. Following receipt of their award, subrecipients will use eCivis to manage their grants, including submitting activity reports, requesting reimbursement, and conducting grant close-out activities.
For training materials, technical support, and other information about eCivis, please visit the Indiana State Budget Agency website at www.in.gov/sba/grants.

To access available grant solicitations, please visit the State Agency Grant Opportunities section of the State Budget Agency website.

Funding Recommendations and Awards
Funding Recommendations and Awards
Each year, the division releases a Request for Funding Proposal (RFP) which serves as a grant application announcement. Within it, there are details that outline the eligibility criteria, grant processes, requirements, and other critical information specific to the grant funding.
Grant funding is reviewed on an annual basis through the grant application process.
1. Prioritization of funding and application approval must occur from the Community Corrections Advisory Board prior to application submissions to the Department.
  - It is important to know that applying for funding does not guarantee a funding award from Indiana Department of Correction.
1. The application is reviewed and scored by IDOC Grant Program Directors.
  The Program Directors contact grantees for any missing information and request clarification of the proposal if needed.
During the recommendation process, IDOC collaborates and reviews applications with:
- The Indiana Office of Court Services for Probation, Problem Solving Courts, and Pre-Trial Services entities
- The Department of Mental Health and Addiction for Jail Treatment entities
- Indiana Prosecuting Attorney’s Council for Prosecutor’s Diversion entities
1. Once the application review process is completed, grant funding award recommendations are presented to the Indiana Department of Correction’s Commissioner for final approval.
