The California Gang Reduction, Intervention and Prevention (CalGRIP) Program provided grant funding to cities that committed to using a local collaborative approach to support prevention, intervention and/or suppression activities. CalGRIP was a state-funded grant program, appropriated annually through the State Restitution Fund. Cities could apply for up to $500,000 with a 100 percent match requirement.

To ensure that applicants undertook a collaborative approach, legislation required that cities pass through a minimum of 20 percent of grant funds to one or more community-based organizations. Activities funded through CalGRIP could include early prevention and intervention initiatives, reentry services, education programs, job training and skills development, family and community services, and targeted law enforcement suppression efforts.

Data Collection and Evaluation

CalGRIP grantees were required to use data and research to drive decision-making in the development, implementation, and evaluation of projects. All grantees were required to set aside a minimum of 10 percent of their total grant award for data collection and evaluation efforts, to include the development of a Local Evaluation Plan and a Final Local Evaluation Report. The purpose of each report is as follows:

• The Local Evaluation Plan describes the evaluation design or model that will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of project components.
• The Final Evaluation Report determines whether the overall project was effective in meeting stated goals and objectives.

Below are the Local Evaluation Reports and the names of Evaluators from the 19 funded CalGRIP projects. Grantees were encouraged to work with external evaluators in the development of an evaluation approach for their projects.
