Opportunity Information: Apply for 24JD08
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) is offering a cooperative agreement titled "Gender Responsive Training" (Funding Opportunity Number 24JD08) to develop a gender-responsive basic training resource for correctional agencies nationwide. The opportunity is driven by long-term growth in the number of women involved in the criminal justice system. Cited national data indicate that incarcerated women in jails and prisons increased by more than 700 percent between 1980 and 2019, rising from 26,378 to 222,455. NIC argues that this trend, along with broader supervision data (probation and parole), makes it increasingly important for agencies to understand how justice-involved women often differ from men in pathways into the system, needs, and effective interventions, and to adjust practice accordingly.
The central purpose of the grant is to create a gender-responsive basic training that agencies can use as an added tool alongside required correctional training. NIC emphasizes that gender-responsive approaches are not meant to weaken accountability standards or compromise institutional or community safety. Instead, the intent is to improve outcomes by equipping staff with practical strategies that reflect the realities of womens experiences and needs, which can also support staff performance and workplace functioning. The agency notes that, despite the importance of staff training overall, gender-responsive training has not been widely adopted across the country. Budget constraints and staffing shortages have pushed many agencies to prioritize filling vacancies and completing mandatory basic training requirements, leaving gender-responsive content outside the standard training baseline. NIC is responding to that gap by seeking a product that can be integrated into or supplement existing basic training structures.
Eligible applicants include 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). However, for-profit recipients must agree to waive any profit or fee for services, reinforcing that the work is meant to produce a broadly usable public resource rather than a revenue-generating service. Foreign governments, international organizations, and non-governmental international organizations or institutions are not eligible. Applicants must be able to document appropriate status, such as proof of 501(c)(3) recognition from the IRS or an authorizing tribal resolution.
NIC allows collaborative applications that involve two or more entities, but the submission must be led by a single eligible applicant that takes primary responsibility for administering the award and managing the full program, with partners included as subrecipients as appropriate. Only one application may be submitted per organization, which means interested organizations need to coordinate internally and with partners to avoid duplicate submissions under the same institutional name.
The award structure is a cooperative agreement, which typically means NIC expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as collaborating on deliverables, reviewing materials, and providing direction to ensure the final training aligns with NIC standards and is usable across different correctional settings. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is $150,000, and NIC expects to make one award. The original application closing date listed for this opportunity is February 5, 2024, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA number 16.601.Apply for 24JD08
