Opportunity Summary:
The Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Technical Assistance Project is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) under Funding Opportunity Number 10PEI35. NIC is seeking a single recipient to carry out a cooperative agreement for a 12-month period beginning in February 2010. The purpose of the award is to continue the technical assistance arm of NICs broader PREA Initiative, which is tied directly to Section 5 of PREA. That section requires NIC to provide training and education to federal, state, and local authorities who are responsible for preventing, investigating, and punishing incidents of sexual abuse in confinement settings, and NIC relies on its technical assistance program as a primary vehicle to deliver that support.
At its core, the project funds a technical assistance provider whose job is to help corrections and detention agencies improve their operations, services, and programs as they relate to sexual safety and PREA compliance efforts. The assistance is meant to build the capacity of the requesting agency to complete specific tasks connected to addressing sexual violence and abuse in correctional environments. The scope of assistance can vary widely depending on what an agency needs, ranging from straightforward dissemination of PREA information and resources to more intensive efforts like organizational reviews, facility or system assessments, and the development of recommendations that help an agency strengthen prevention, reporting, investigation practices, and overall institutional response to sexual abuse. While the emphasis is on both inmate-on-inmate and staff-on-inmate sexual abuse and sexual violence, NIC notes that other NIC programs and initiatives may also be brought in as part of a comprehensive response when appropriate.
The way the work is triggered is also clearly laid out. Technical assistance requests are expected to come primarily from state and local agencies that house or supervise detained and sentenced individuals, as well as from federal agencies with detention, corrections, and community supervision responsibilities. These requests are submitted directly to NIC, not to the awardee. The NIC PREA Initiative Project Manager then reviews and approves the requests and forwards them to the cooperative agreement recipient for action. The Project Manager does not just route requests; they also provide initial guidance on the type of response NIC expects and may join early conversations between the awardee and the requesting agency to shape and refine the final technical assistance approach. When useful, the Project Manager may consult other NIC staff to connect the requester with additional strategies, services, products, or related NIC resources beyond the narrow PREA technical assistance being delivered under this award.
Applicants are expected to propose an organized and repeatable approach for delivering this assistance. The application must include an initial protocol describing the core tasks and subtasks that will be performed when responding to technical assistance assignments, with reference to the announcements supplementary instructions on what to include. Alongside that protocol, applicants must provide a communications plan that explains how notifications, updates, and approvals will flow among three parties: the requesting agency, the cooperative agreement recipient, and the NIC Project Manager. After the award is made, NIC will work with the recipient to refine the protocol as needed, and NIC must approve the finalized approach.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is listed under CFDA 16.603 (Corrections Technical Assistance/Clearinghouse). NIC anticipates making one award. The ceiling is $150,000 and there is no stated award floor, and cost sharing or matching is not required. The opportunity was posted on December 5, 2009, with an application closing date of January 4, 2010, and an archive date of February 3, 2010. Eligibility is broad: any public or private agency, educational institution, organization, individual, or team may apply as long as they have expertise in the areas described. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Pamela Davison, Administrative Assistant, at 202-353-0484.
