Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) offered this discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity to fund a 12-month project that would produce a practical policy guide for corrections professionals responsible for the care, custody, and day-to-day management of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) individuals in custody. The central purpose of the project was to translate knowledge, emerging standards, and real-world operational considerations into clear guidance that agencies could use to shape policy and improve practice in correctional settings.
A key deliverable under the agreement was a comprehensive guidance document aimed at corrections practitioners, with an emphasis on operationally relevant areas (referenced in the announcement as selected operational areas under Goal 2 and the supplementary information). In addition to hands-on guidance for facility and agency operations, the guide was required to include three major supporting components: first, a concise summary of relevant case law affecting the custody and treatment of LGBTI people in corrections; second, an up-to-date discussion of terms and definitions related to LGBTI populations, explicitly recognizing that language and accepted terminology change over time; and third, a structured list of subjects that should be covered in both initial onboarding training and ongoing in-service training for staff. For each of these three components, NIC expected the guide to point users to supporting materials such as informational resources, websites, and other sources of technical assistance so agencies could continue learning beyond the document itself.
The funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 10PEI36) anticipated making a single award, with an award ceiling of $75,000 and no required cost sharing or matching funds. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically means NIC expected an active partnership role during the project rather than a purely hands-off grant relationship, including coordination, review, and iterative development of the final product over the 12-month period.
Eligibility was broad and designed to attract subject-matter expertise from multiple sectors. Eligible applicants included state governments and general units of local government, private agencies, educational institutions, organizations, and even individuals or teams, as long as they could demonstrate expertise in the relevant areas and show they had the capability to carry out a project of this size and complexity. The associated CFDA listing was 16.602 (Corrections Research and Evaluation and Policy Formulation), situating the work within the domain of correctional policy development and applied guidance.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted May 13, 2010, with a closing date of June 11, 2010 (original and current closing date the same), and it was archived July 11, 2010. The NIC contact listed for access issues with the full announcement was Pamela Davison, Administrative Assistant, at 202-353-0484.
