The Department of Justice (DOJ or Department) is committed to ensuring that our own personnel are well trained in techniques that ensure fairness, eliminate bias, and build a criminal justice system that is fair, impartial, and procedurally just. Accordingly, the Department has committed to provide implicit bias training to all Assistant United States Attorneys (AUSAs).

The Department seeks to build upon its previous efforts to develop implicit bias training by updating an overview video to introduce the topic in a way that will be relevant to Assistant United States Attorneys (AUSAs) so they will be able to participate meaningfully in associated experiential learning activities.

Objectives

List items concerning the intent of the project.

Address the learning objectives of the training:

Identify key elements of implicit bias.

Understand scientific methods for measuring implicit bias with reference to relevant case studies as appropriate.

Identify sources of implicit bias.

Identify conditions that increase the likelihood that implicit bias may influence AUSAs’ perceptions, decisions, and actions.

Identify possible individual and organizational manifestations of implicit bias.

Identify possible individual and organizational impacts of implicit bias.

Identify measures and strategies that mitigate the manifestation of implicit bias.

Identify how this training is in alignment with DOJ’s mission and the core values of its components/offices.

Sustain the quality of the course while also refreshing the curriculum.

Make the course relevant to the AUSA audience.

Create an internal cadre of trainers who can reach the full breadth of the Department.

Outcomes

List measurable benefits or other changes that are sought by undertaking the project.

Increase AUSAs’ understanding of how unconscious and unintentional biases can affect their work.

Improve AUSAs’ willingness to question core assumptions.

Scope

In Scope

List deliverables and services for which the project team will be responsible.

Refresh Training Materials, Video, Participant Guide and Facilitation Guide

Collaborate: This group will provide direct input into the project deliverables.

Keep Informed: Done both formally and informally. The results of the project will impact this group, and although they may not have direct contact with the project, they need to know what the project is delivering that will affect them.

Monitor and Respond: This quadrant would contain groups that are not impacted by the project by may want to have some knowledge of it. This would be done ad hoc as questions arose.

DI team members will also meet regularly to monitor and control the project. Refer to Section VII for meeting frequencies.

Project Review Process

Describe the process by which deliverables will be evaluated and revised to obtain the reviewer’s approval.

Deliverables will be provided to the DOJ on or before listed deadlines. If no review deadline has been established, one will be discussed and agreed upon. Revisions will be submitted to the DOJ by the established deadlines. Revisions and comments will be returned to DI by the established review deadline.

Change Management Process

Describe the process for managing all proposed changes, including how change requests are initiated and agreed upon.

Either the DOJ or DI may request changes to the project either in writing or in a meeting. Both parties must agree to the changes which must be confirmed in writing. When applicable, a modification to the contract will be executed.
