This is a single federal award to build a weighted random case-allocation software system for Serbia's prosecution service, aimed at blocking political interference in organized crime, money laundering, and corruption prosecutions. It fits organizations that can deliver justice-sector software and technical assistance abroad, not small businesses looking for general operating money. If you have no software development or criminal justice capacity, skip it.

Best for
Software development firms building case-management or allocation systems, Nonprofits with justice-sector or rule-of-law technical assistance experience, Universities with criminal justice or legal technology research capacity, Government contractors with foreign justice-sector reform experience
Not for
Small businesses without software development or justice-sector experience, Organizations seeking small grants or local projects, Applicants outside the software, justice, or technical assistance space

Summary

INL seeks an organization to build a software-based weighted random case-allocation system for Serbia's prosecution service to prevent political interference and selective prosecution of transnational organized crime, money laundering, and corruption cases. Eligibility is defined in the full announcement; one award of roughly $750,000-$1.1 million.

About this grant

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) of the U.S. Department of State announce an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a project to develop a software-based weighted, random case-allocation system to prevent selective prosecution of transnational organized crime and money laundering cases. Political interference in the prosecution service remains a barrier to fighting transnational organized crime and achieving other U.S. objectives in Serbia. As requested by the High Prosecutorial Council, the body responsible for oversight of the prosecution service, this grant will reduce political manipulation of prosecutions and improve outcomes in extradition cases and cases involving high-level corruption and transnational criminal organization (TCO) leaders whose activities harm U.S. national security interests through random allocation of cases
