Opportunity Summary:
The Veterans Trauma Informed Training grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 16CS09) is a discretionary, FY 2016 funding program offered by the National Institute of Corrections (NIC), part of the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Prisons (USDOJ-BOP-NIC). Its central purpose is to support the development of a training curriculum that helps staff in a local jurisdiction better understand and respond to the needs of justice-involved veterans, with a specific emphasis on trauma-informed and "responsivity" issues. In practical terms, the project is meant to translate what is known about veterans experiences, trauma exposure, and related behavioral health considerations into concrete staff skills that can improve day-to-day interactions, supervision practices, service connections, and overall outcomes for veterans who are involved in the justice system.
The funded work is focused on curriculum development rather than direct service delivery. NIC is looking for a structured training product that can be used to train personnel within a local justice setting, such as staff working in corrections, community supervision, or other local criminal justice operations that interact with veterans. The term "responsivity" generally points to tailoring supervision and interventions to the individuals characteristics and needs, so the curriculum is expected to help staff recognize factors common among veterans (including trauma histories and service-related experiences) and adjust communication, engagement, and case practices accordingly. The intended impact is improved capacity among local staff, which in turn is expected to support better engagement of justice-involved veterans and improved system outcomes.
This opportunity is offered as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the relationship typically involves more substantial federal involvement than a standard grant. While the announcement text provided does not spell out all management expectations, cooperative agreements usually indicate that NIC may work closely with the award recipient during development, review, and refinement of the training curriculum to ensure it aligns with NIC standards and mission objectives.
Key administrative details include a maximum award amount (award ceiling) of $70,000 and an expectation of one award total, making it a relatively small, highly targeted competition. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 16.601. The opportunity was posted on March 23, 2016, and the application closing date was May 23, 2016 (with no later closing date indicated). Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the note that additional eligibility clarification would be contained in the full opportunity guidance, suggesting that applicants could include certain organizations, institutions, or entities outside the most common categories, depending on NICs specific eligibility criteria for this solicitation.
Overall, this grant is designed to produce a practical, usable training curriculum that strengthens local jurisdictions ability to work effectively with justice-involved veterans through a trauma-informed, responsivity-focused approach, with a single, modestly funded award intended to generate a product that can build staff skills and improve outcomes.
