SORNA Training and Technical Assistance Program

The Institute for Intergovernmental Research (IIR) will use funding to continue to assess, develop, and provide targeted training and technical assistance (TTA) to assist state, tribal, and territorial SORNA jurisdictions that have: 1) substantially implemented SORNA standards, but need assistance maintaining status; 2) not substantially implemented, but are attempting to implement SORNA; and 3) indicated their fundamental opposition to SORNA implementation. While the assessment phase completed during the initial grant will be critical, designing and delivering targeted TTA during the post-assessment phase is equally important. For consistency and continuity, and to create cost efficiencies in the development and delivery of SORNA TTA, IIR proposes to leverage and adapt many of its existing programmatic resources in support of the goals and objectives for the post-assessment phase of the project. In conjunction with the SMART Office and identified SMEs, IIR will develop a wide variety of outreach and technical assistance materials that can be delivered on-site or remotely via webinar, live video conference call, Web-based learning management systems, and on-demand tutorial courses.
