About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, through its National Institute of Corrections (NIC), is seeking applications to develop a comprehensive, 24-40 hour ITIP (Instructional Theory Into Practice) training program for correctional staff, with a focus on disciplinary hearing officers. The goal is to equip staff with the knowledge and skills to ensure procedural fairness and legal compliance when conducting disciplinary proceedings that are firm, fair, impartial, and support the rehabilitation of incarcerated individuals. Eligible applicants include nonprofit, for-profit, and higher education organizations, with only one application per organization accepted. The evaluation will focus on the applicant's understanding of the project goals, the quality and feasibility of the training program design, and the qualifications of the project team.
The funding available is up to $175,000 for a 12-month project period, with potential for supplemental funding in future years. The application deadline is 11:59pm ET on October 21, 2024, and applicants must register with Grants.gov prior to submitting. The funded program falls under the NIC Corrections Training and Staff Development grant program (CFDA 16.601), which supports a variety of training and technical assistance efforts aimed at improving correctional practices and outcomes nationwide.
Synopsis

A key task of the initiative is to develop a comprehensive, ITIP (Instructional Theory Into Practice) training program for different stakeholders involved in the disciplinary process. The overarching goal is to equip correctional staff with the necessary knowledge and skills to ensure that procedural fairness is maintained when conducting disciplinary proceedings that are firm, fair, impartial, and legally compliant.
