Provide ongoing assistance and support to grantees under the Upholding the Rule of Law & Preventing Wrongful Convictions program (both FY21 and FY22 grantees) through direct consultations and feedback, as well as connecting grantees to each other for more general and global assistance. We did three in-person meetings We did on-site visits to three grantees to meet with staff, evaluate collaborative efforts, and review intake and evaluation protocols: CPCS in Boston, Innocence Project of Texas and Travis County DAO; Chatham County DAO and Georgia Innocence Project; and Shelby County DAO and Tennessee Innocence Project.
In addition, we continue our regular online consultations with other grantees to assist in improving intake and case review. We reviewed intake and review materials from four new grantees to help evaluate their intake and review processes. Several grantees did not want to have regular meetings, but preferred to reach out when they wanted assistance. All agencies were contacted for periodic check-ins. Regular meetings included: Arizona State University, Georgia Innocence Project and Chatham County DAO, Tennessee Innocence Project and Chatham County District Attorney CIU; Innocence Project of Texas and Travis County District Attorney CIU; Great North Innocence Project and Minnesota Attorney General's Office Conviction Review Unit; Georgetown Universtiy Making an Exoneree; Georgia Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Fulton County CIU; Innocence Delaware; New Jersey Innocence Project; Mid-Atlantic Innocence Project; Midwest Innocence Project; Philadelphia District Attorney's Conviction Integrity Unit and Phillips Black; Wayne County Prosecutor's Office CIU.
