About this opportunity
The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons is seeking applicants for a cooperative agreement to develop and pilot a new curriculum for the Institute for Jail Administration (IJA). The IJA provides training to personnel in positions of leadership within local or tribal organizations responsible for operating jails. Key objectives include equipping jail leaders to manage essential aspects of jail administration and prepare them for positions of greater responsibility. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations, and institutions of higher education. The evaluation criteria will assess the applicant's understanding of the challenges facing jail administrators, the proposed approach to curriculum development and training delivery, and the qualifications of the project team. The application deadline is 11:59 pm Eastern time on July 1, 2024, and proposals must be submitted through Grants.gov.
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) expects to make one award up to $275,000 over a 12-month project period, with the possibility of supplemental non-competitive funding for up to two additional 12-month periods. The grant is authorized under the CFDA program 16.601 - Corrections Training and Staff Development, which supports training programs for personnel connected with the treatment and rehabilitation of criminal and juvenile offenders.
Synopsis
There are over 3,100 local jails and 80 Indian country jails in the United States with a combined population on any given day of over 660,000 people.

Large or small, rural, or urban, the vast majority face the same challenges: staffing, succession planning, training, culture, resource shortages, data analysis, health care, substance abuse disorders, mental illness, facility design and operations, and early identification of trends and emerging issues within their populations, to name a few. And while there are commonalities among the many, the responsibility to the public for the life, health, and safety of the people in their custody and their employees while administering a constitutionally run jail is considerable and common to all
