About this opportunity
The National Institute of Corrections seeks applications to update the 2003 publication "Gender-Responsive Strategies: Research, Practice, and Guiding Principles for Women Offenders." Nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations, and institutions of higher education may apply for this cooperative agreement, agreeing to waive any profit or fee. Applicants must form an expert work group to review literature, case studies, and research from the past 20 years to update the publication. Products include revised publications, webinars, and web content promoting understanding of gender-responsive policies and their effect on justice-involved women. The deadline for applications is February 19, 2024.
The projected value of this award is $75,000 for a 12-month period beginning April 3, 2024. The applicant will develop content at their place of performance with input from subject matter experts and practitioners working with justice-involved women. Presentation of the new materials will occur at a criminal justice conference with the location to be determined.
Synopsis
In September 1999, the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) began a 3-year project to create a foundational body of work on gender-relevant approaches to manage and intervene effectively with justice-involved women in adult corrections. An NIC-wide team on justice-involved women saw the need to summarize current evidence regarding what is known and not known about gender-responsive policy and practice. The outcome of this work was Gender-Responsive Strategies: Research, Practice, and Guiding Principles for Women Offenders. The gender-responsive strategies project was a foundational building block of the NIC "Women Offender Initiative" over 20 years ago.
Gender-Responsive Strategies is still regarded as a contemporary NIC foundation for improving outcomes for women; however, there has been much accomplished since it was released. Some of the information is viewed as old, although still relevant, and should be updated. The efforts of NIC over the last 20 years (such as the development of the Gender-Responsive Discipline and Sanctions Policy Guide for Women's Facilities, the Gender-Informed Practices Assessment, the Women's Correctional Safety Scales Toolkit, the Women's Risk and Needs Assessment, and Safety Matters: Managing Relationships in Women's Facilities training) should be included. There are also international human rights standards and federal legislation (e.g., PREA, First Step Act) that must be included in a useful discussion of contemporary gender-responsive practice. A link to a copy of the current publication is included with this solicitation.
