Opportunity Summary:
The International Corrections Management Training Services opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number INL 16GR0037 INLCAPGLOBAL 05 16 2016) is a U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (DOS-INL) discretionary grant competition to fund a single organization to deliver advanced corrections management training for international mid- and senior-level corrections officials. The central aim is to strengthen professional capacity and leadership in prison and corrections administration by providing practical, adult-oriented instruction that participants can apply directly to real-world operations and decision-making.
The program focuses on improving how correctional institutions are run so they remain safe and secure while also being humane and transparent. In practical terms, this means training content is expected to address modern prison management principles, operational control, staff supervision, accountability practices, and approaches that reduce abuse and corruption while maintaining order. A key element is that the instruction should be adult-centric and delivered through a full-service residential training facility, implying an immersive training environment where participants can engage in intensive coursework, scenario-based exercises, and peer learning over the duration of the program rather than short, disconnected workshops.
Another major emphasis is building participants capacity to prevent, detect, and respond to threats inside and outside correctional facilities, particularly those associated with violent extremists and organized criminal groups. This includes strengthening institutional resilience against recruitment, radicalization, contraband networks, intimidation, coordinated disturbances, and other security risks that can destabilize prisons and spill over into broader public safety concerns. The training is intended to bolster both preventive practices and response capabilities, supporting corrections leaders in managing complex threat environments while still meeting standards for humane treatment and lawful confinement.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the funding agency during implementation (for example, coordination on program design, participant selection processes, monitoring, and deliverable expectations). The total funding available has an award ceiling of $3,100,000, and the agency anticipated making one award under this solicitation. The opportunity falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category and is associated with CFDA number 19.703.
Key administrative details include an original and current application closing date of June 15, 2016, with the opportunity created and posted on May 16, 2016. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with specifics referenced in the full announcement under an additional eligibility information section, suggesting that a range of non-federal entities may be able to apply depending on the criteria described in the complete solicitation.
