Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Women and the Criminal Justice System" (Funding Opportunity Number INLEA INLCJ 13 012) was a discretionary U.S. government grant offered through the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), specifically tied to the Office of Criminal Justice Assistance and Partnership (INL/CAP). The core purpose was to strengthen how INL criminal justice assistance programs incorporate women and womens perspectives, reflecting a broader priority of advancing gender equality in justice and security sector work. Rather than funding a broad range of field projects, the opportunity was narrowly focused on building practical training content that would shape how INL personnel and experts engage with partner-country justice institutions.
At the center of the project was the development or incorporation of a pre-deployment training module for mentors and advisors who are sent to INL missions overseas. INL recognized that these deployed advisors are often positioned to influence program design and to inform host-country counterparts about inclusive practices. The requested training module was meant to explain why womens participation and perspectives matter in criminal justice contexts, and to provide concrete guidance on how deployed mentors and advisors can support that integration during their assignments. In practice, this implies a curriculum that does more than discuss gender equality in abstract terms; it would likely emphasize operational relevance, common barriers to womens participation in justice institutions, ways to encourage womens meaningful inclusion (not token representation), and approaches advisors can use when making recommendations to counterparts in different cultural and institutional environments.
The opportunity fell under the funding activity category of Law, Justice and Legal Services and was associated with CFDA 19.703 (Criminal Justice Systems). INL anticipated making a single award, with estimated total funding of $19,500. The award ceiling was $19,500 and the award floor was $5,000, signaling that applicants could propose a smaller scoped training product but that the maximum available amount was modest and intended for a targeted deliverable rather than a large program. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduced the burden on applicants and made it easier for eligible organizations to propose work without needing outside funds to meet a match.
Eligibility was limited to certain organization types: public and state controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding universities when applying as nonprofits, since higher education institutions were already listed as eligible categories). This set of eligible applicants suggests INL was looking for organizations with training, curriculum development, policy, criminology, gender studies, or international justice sector expertise, and the institutional capacity to produce a training module suitable for government pre-deployment programs.
Key timing information shows the opportunity was posted on August 29, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 9, 2013, and an archive date of October 9, 2013. The short application window implies INL may have been seeking a relatively quick turnaround or responding to a near-term training need. For applicants or researchers reviewing it historically, the listing also provided a general support contact through the Grants.gov Contact Center for issues accessing the full announcement electronically.
Overall, this grant was designed to produce a practical pre-deployment training component that helps INL advisors promote gender-inclusive criminal justice assistance in the countries where they work. The emphasis was on equipping deployed personnel with the understanding and tools to advocate for and operationalize the integration of women and womens perspectives within criminal justice systems, thereby aligning day-to-day advisory work with INL/CAP objectives on gender equality.
