Opportunity Information: Apply for 18CS27
Safety Matters: Managing Relationships in Women's Facilities is a discretionary Department of Justice National Institute of Corrections (NIC) grant opportunity focused on improving safety in women's correctional facilities through a structured, research-based training program. The program is gender-informed and is designed specifically for agency or jurisdiction teams made up of correctional professionals who are directly responsible for the safe, effective day-to-day management of women in custody. At its core, the training is meant to strengthen how facilities prevent, identify, and respond to relationship dynamics that can become unsafe, coercive, or professionally compromising, while also promoting healthier and safer interactions in the facility environment.
The main emphasis of the program is on equipping corrections practitioners with practical tools to address relationships that can develop within women's facilities and may escalate into risk, including sexual or physical safety concerns and boundary problems that can affect staff, residents, and overall facility operations. Rather than treating relationship issues as isolated incidents, the program frames them as predictable dynamics that can be managed more effectively when staff have a shared understanding of risk factors, professional boundaries, and strategies for intervention. The training content is grounded in Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA)-related research and incorporates findings and data from the National Institute of Justice and the Bureau of Justice Statistics, with a specific focus on sexual and physical safety issues in women's prisons.
The training delivery model combines multiple formats to support learning and long-term adoption. It blends Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) with in-person, on-site classroom Instructor-Led Training (ILT). After the primary ILT component, the program includes a targeted Training of Staff Trainers (TOT) element, which is intended to build internal capacity so the participating agency can continue delivering or reinforcing the training beyond the initial engagement. This structure signals that NIC is not only funding a one-time training event, but also aiming for sustained impact through local trainers and institutionalization of improved practices.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number 18CS27 and is funded through a cooperative agreement, meaning NIC likely expects substantial involvement or collaboration during implementation rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal participation. The CFDA listing is 16.601. The award ceiling is $42,000, and NIC expected to make one award under this announcement, making it a small, competitive opportunity targeted at a single recipient or project team that can deliver the described training approach. The opportunity was created on June 20, 2018, with an original closing date of August 19, 2018. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, which suggests NIC may have been open to certain types of organizations or entities capable of delivering specialized corrections training and supporting implementation with agency teams.
Overall, this grant opportunity funds the delivery of an evidence-informed training initiative aimed at reducing safety risks and improving professional practice in women's facilities by directly addressing relationship dynamics that can compromise safety, violate boundaries, or contribute to sexual or physical harm, while also strengthening the ability of correctional agencies to sustain the training through a staff-trainer model.Apply for 18CS27
