Opportunity Summary:
The Rule of Law Training Modules for Prosecutors and Judges grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number INLEA INLCJ 14 005) was offered by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), through its Office of Criminal Justice Assistance and Partnership (CAP). The central purpose of the grant was to support INL and its overseas rule of law programming by creating standardized, high quality training modules that can be used across multiple countries and adapted as needed to fit local legal systems and operating environments. CAP works to help build transparent, accessible, and accountable criminal justice institutions abroad, and it does so by drawing on U.S. subject matter expertise in law enforcement, justice, and corrections. Because CAP relies heavily on a growing network of more than 70 federal, state, and local criminal justice partnerships in the United States, it identified a practical need for consistent training templates so that prosecutors and judges in partner countries receive coherent, reliable instruction even when different U.S. trainers are deployed.
The requested deliverables were distinct training materials tailored to two key audiences: prosecutors and judges. For prosecutors, the modules were expected to concentrate on strengthening the effective prosecution of homicide and domestic violence cases, areas that often present recurring challenges in evidence development, case theory, witness management, victim safety, and trial presentation. For judges, the modules were expected to focus on the use of scientific evidence, including DNA evidence, and to reinforce the judge's role in an adversarial trial process. In other words, the grant was not simply about general legal education; it targeted practical, courtroom-relevant competencies that INL was hearing host nation counterparts repeatedly ask for, with an emphasis on materials that can serve as foundational templates and then be customized by country program teams.
Administratively, this was a discretionary grant program in the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category, tied to CFDA number 19.703 (Criminal Justice Systems). INL anticipated making up to two awards under this opportunity. The estimated total funding available was $200,000, with an award ceiling of $200,000 and an award floor of $0, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants were limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and public or state controlled institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on March 12, 2014, with an application closing date of April 16, 2014, and it was scheduled to be archived on May 16, 2014. Applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement were directed to the Grants.gov Contact Center for technical support.
