Up to 35 grants are available to state governments from the Bureau of Justice Statistics for the national criminal history improvement program (NCHIP).
The NCHIP grants are intended to further the crime fighting and criminal justice capabilities of state governments by improving the accuracy, utility, and interstate accessibility of criminal history records.
That mission specifically includes enhancing records of protective orders involving domestic violence and stalking, sex offender records, automated identification systems and other state systems supporting national records systems and their use for criminal history background checks.
Grant amounts were not specified in the program funding opportunity, number 2010-BJS-2475.
