Deadline: 05-Jul-21
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) is seeking applications for funding under the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Women’s Risk and Need Assessment.
The purpose of this solicitation is the development of outreach modalities to inform agencies about the Women’s Risk and Need Assessment (WRNA) and ultimately engage them to submit teams to then be trained in its implementation and application.
Goals
- Awardee develops deliverables, to include outreach methods, so that agencies viewing the WRNA overview have been provided sufficient information to apply to send teams to the virtual training on WRNA implementation.
- Awardee carries out deliverables so that agency teams accepted to the NIC virtual training begin the process of implementing the WRNA in their agency.
Objectives
The awardee will:
- Meet with designated NIC staff to develop a work plan and timeline to meet each of the deliverables to the satisfaction of NIC.
- Ensure that the video and other outreach modalities provide sufficient information that viewers will have an understanding of the purpose, development, implementation requirements, and application of the WRNA. This information will assist them in looking internally at their resources and agency capacity and deciding whether to submit a team application from their agency to be trained virtually in implementation of the WRNA.
- Ensure the materials developed to provide training on the WRNA meet the needs of NIC and the agency teams.
- Ensure that the delivery of the WRNA training meets the needs of NIC and the agency teams.
Funding Information
NIC expects to make one award for as much as $94,020 for a 12-month project period, beginning August 19, 2021.
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).

- 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.
- 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.
