The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) is seeking applications for funding under the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 to create a number of resources to provide community supervision agencies assistance in the prevention and response to staff sexual misconduct.
Goals
To develop a collection of training materials and resources that will assist community supervision agencies in preventing and addressing staff sexual misconduct while increasing the professionalism of staff and affording greater safety for both staff and those they supervise.
Objectives
A proposal responsive to this solicitation should, at a minimum: identify a plan to address the scope and timeframe of the project; determine the methodology and resources necessary to deliver the work products; and identify a team that includes members with experience in designing and developing instructional materials for adult learners in a virtual environment. Objectives of this project include:
- Reference and resource materials for use by all community supervision agencies,
- Tools, such as a self-assessment policy guide to assist agencies in identifying gaps and opportunities,
- Curriculum suitable for training agency staff including training for trainers.
Funding Information
NIC expects to make one award for as much as $150,000.00 for a 12-month project period, beginning on August 10, 2022. Requests for amounts in excess of a total of $150,000.00, including direct and indirect costs will not be considered.
Eligibility Criteria
- NIC invites applications from nonprofit organizations (including faith-based, community, and tribal organizations), for-profit organizations (including tribal for-profit organizations), and institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions of higher education). Recipients, including for-profit organizations, must agree to waive any profit or fee for services. Foreign governments, international organizations, and non-governmental international organizations/institutions are not eligible to apply.
- Proof of 501(c) (3) status as determined by the Internal Revenue Service or an authorizing tribal resolution is required. NIC welcomes applications that involve two or more entities; however, one eligible entity must be the applicant and the others must be proposed as subrecipients. The applicant must be the entity with primary responsibility for administering the funding and managing the entire program.
- Only one (1) application will be accepted from a submitting organization. NIC may elect to make awards for applications submitted under this solicitation in future fiscal years, dependent on the merit of the applications and on the availability of appropriations.
