Opportunity Summary:
The SMART FY2010 Comprehensive Approaches to Sex Offender Management (CASOM) Training and Technical Assistance Program is a U.S. Department of Justice discretionary funding opportunity, authorized under 42 U.S.C. 13941, designed to strengthen how jurisdictions manage people convicted of sex offenses while they are under community supervision. Rather than funding direct services in one place, this program funds a single organization to serve as a national or multi-site training and technical assistance provider for jurisdictions that already received FY 2010 CASOM grant awards. The core idea is to help these sites build practical, research-informed, and coordinated management strategies that reduce risk and improve public safety through better policy, practice, and interagency collaboration.
Under this cooperative agreement, the selected recipient is expected to plan and deliver targeted assistance to roughly ten to twelve CASOM grantee jurisdictions. Up to three of those sites may be tribal jurisdictions seeking to replicate the Comprehensive Approach model to sex offender management, while the remaining sites will typically be state or local jurisdictions focused on strengthening existing systems. The technical assistance is meant to help each jurisdiction take an honest look at its current approach, identify major gaps or weaknesses, and then develop concrete strategies to address those needs. The assistance can also support jurisdictions that want to implement innovative approaches that can be recognized as best practices, especially where there is a clear, documented need or deficiency.
A key feature of this opportunity is that the technical assistance provider must be able to work across a wide range of starting points and local contexts. Some jurisdictions will be in early planning stages, while others will already have an operational model and need more advanced support to improve performance, coordination, and outcomes. Grantee sites may be rural, urban, or suburban and can vary substantially in population size, geographic spread, staffing, and organizational capacity. Because of that variability, applicants are expected to show they can tailor training and support to different environments and to multiple disciplines involved in sex offender management, such as probation and parole, law enforcement, treatment providers, prosecutors, courts, victim services, corrections, and related partners.
The solicitation places strong emphasis on demonstrated expertise and credibility. Applicants are expected to have deep subject-matter knowledge in sex offender management, a track record of delivering training and technical assistance grounded in research and data-driven practices (with particular emphasis on the Comprehensive Approach model), and substantial experience assessing sex offender management programs. The program also expects experience serving a broad mix of jurisdictions and agencies, strong curriculum development and instructional delivery capacity, and specific knowledge of tribal government and tribal systems to ensure assistance is appropriate and effective for tribal sites.
Another central requirement is performance measurement. The funded provider must do more than deliver training sessions; it must also measure the effects of technical assistance in terms of improved grantee capacity and strengthened ability to manage sex offenders in the community. In practice, this means the provider should be prepared to define outcomes, track progress, and document how training and guidance translate into stronger policies, better coordination, improved implementation, and more effective management practices at the jurisdiction level.
From an administrative standpoint, this was a FY 2010 opportunity with one expected award, an estimated total funding amount of up to $1,000,000 (with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 and no stated minimum), and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement in shaping or overseeing the work. Eligible applicants included a wide range of entities, including nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, public and private institutions of higher education, small businesses, certain for-profit organizations, and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). The opportunity was posted January 27, 2010, with a closing date of March 18, 2010, and it is associated with CFDA 16.203 (Promoting Evidence Integration in Sex Offender Management Discretionary Grant Program). The listed program contact was Jacqueline OReilly, Grant Program Specialist at the Department of Justice.
