NIC Resources for the Management of Transgender Individuals in Custody and Under Supervision – US

Deadline: 5-Feb-24

The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) is soliciting proposals from organizations, groups, or individuals to enter into a cooperative agreement for at least a 12-month project period.

Work under this agreement will include a literature review, formation of a working group of subject matter experts, a white paper containing findings and recommendations, the updating and development of policy guides, education and training tools, and other resource materials.

Activities and products from this cooperative agreement will include development of an annotated bibliography, a literature and research review, the convening and facilitating of virtual and in-person work session(s) composed of subject matter experts, development of a white paper and recommendations based on both the literature review and feedback from the subject matter experts for additional products that may be included in this project, development of policy guides, and creation of education and training resources. Resulting products will be in the public domain and available through the National Institute of Corrections website and Information Center.

The initial year of this project should be focused on the foundational work as described above and the development of a plan for additional work in subsequent years to potentially include training specific to facilities receiving transgender individuals and strategies for managing the population. All training designed under this cooperative agreement should include readiness assessments, pre- and post-test elements to determine training effectiveness, and a feedback loop to agency trainers.

The format and duration of the training will be determined by awardee curriculum developers in collaboration with the NIC program manager and based upon the recommendations of the working group. Trainings may also include specific train-the-trainer curriculums and pilots based on how an agency may use the materials. Any curriculum developed must adhere to the Instructional Theory Into Practice model. This can include videos, games, and other activities and resources.

Goal

The goal of this cooperative agreement is to develop a collection of materials and resources that will assist corrections and community supervision agencies in the safe and humane management of transgender individuals in custody and on supervision.

Objectives

A proposal responsive to this solicitation should, at a minimum identify a plan to address the scope and timeframe of the project and determine the methodology and resources necessary to deliver the work products.

The program’s overall objectives include the following:
