Opportunity Summary:
The Diversion Symposium grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 16CS13) is a Fiscal Year 2016 discretionary funding program offered by the National Institute of Corrections (NIC), within the U.S. Department of Justice (USDOJ-BOP-NIC). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds, often including coordination, input on deliverables, or collaboration on planning and implementation.
The central purpose of the opportunity is to support a symposium focused on pretrial diversion decision making. The symposium is intended to educate and inform a broad mix of criminal justice stakeholders and policymakers, helping them better understand how diversion decisions are made before trial and what approaches are most effective. A key emphasis is exposing participants to a wide range of diversion-related topics grounded in proven and research-based criminal justice practices, with particular attention to diversion criteria (who should be diverted and under what conditions), interventions (what services or responses are used in place of traditional processing), and programming (how diversion options are structured and delivered in practice).
From a funding and scope standpoint, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $107,000 and anticipates making around five awards. The program is categorized under CFDA 16.601. While eligibility is broadly stated as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the original notice, the framing suggests the applicant pool may include organizations capable of planning and delivering a professional convening event and producing materials or outcomes that help jurisdictions apply evidence-informed diversion practices. The application deadline for this opportunity was May 23, 2016, and it was originally posted on March 23, 2016.
