Opportunity Summary:
The Sexual Safety in Womens Institutions grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 13CS10) was offered by the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) as a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on improving safety for women who are incarcerated. The project was designed as an 18-month effort scheduled to begin no later than September 15, 2013, and it emphasized practical training and capacity-building rather than direct service delivery. NIC planned to make a single award, with an award ceiling of $80,000, and it did not require cost sharing or a matching contribution.
At the center of the opportunity was the development and pilot testing of a blended learning curriculum addressing sexual safety in womens correctional settings. "Blended learning" in this context means combining multiple training formats, such as self-paced components, classroom style instruction, and technology-based delivery methods. The solicitation specifically noted that the curriculum could include virtual instructor-led training (VILT), signaling an interest in approaches that can be delivered remotely and scaled across different facilities and jurisdictions while still maintaining instructor interaction.
The intended audience for the curriculum was broad and reflects how many different roles influence safety inside womens institutions. NIC expected the training to be relevant not only for correctional staff, but also for volunteers, contractors, and community stakeholders who work in womens correctional institutions and community residential facilities. That scope suggests the curriculum was meant to support consistent practices across institutional custody settings and community-based residential environments, where supervision, power dynamics, reporting pathways, and boundary management can look different but still carry sexual safety risks.
Structurally, this was a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which generally indicates NIC expected to be actively involved during the project period. The announcement also described the effort as a collaborative venture with the NIC Community Services Division, implying close coordination on curriculum design, piloting logistics, and refinement based on feedback from the field. While the notice does not list specific curriculum modules, the stated purpose points to content that would help staff and stakeholders prevent, recognize, report, and appropriately respond to sexual misconduct and related safety concerns in womens correctional environments.
Eligibility was intentionally open. NIC allowed applications from any public or private agency, educational institution, organization, individual, or team with expertise in the relevant subject areas. The funding falls under CFDA 16.601 (Corrections Training and Staff Development), aligning the project with training and professional development activities in corrections. Key dates included a posted date of June 21, 2013, an application deadline of July 16, 2013, and an archive date of August 15, 2013. For access issues with the full announcement, the listed contact was Melanie Simms, Administrative Officer, at 202-353-0484.
