Solicitation for a Cooperative Agreement
SUMMARY: The Department of Justice (DOJ), National Institute of
Corrections (NIC) announces the availability of funds in FY'97 for a
cooperative agreement to fund a ``Criminal Justice System Project: A
Program of Training and Technical Assistance for Selected State and
Local Jurisdictions.''
PURPOSE: The National Institute of Corrections is seeking proposals for
a cooperative agreement to help criminal justice policy teams in five
state and local jurisdictions develop and implement purposeful,
informed policies on the design, use, capacity, and cost of selected
components of their system of correctional options for pre-trial and
sentenced offenders. The Criminal Justice System Project team will be a
collaborative effort between NIC program staff and the cooperative
agreement recipient.
AUTHORITY: Public Law 93-415.
FUNDS AVAILABLE: Funding for the project is limited to a maximum total
amount of $305,000 (direct and indirect costs) for one cooperative
agreement for the first twelve months of a three-year effort. Based on
the availability of funds, funding for the two, subsequent, one-year
phases are projected at roughly the same level ($305,000 per year). The
approval for the second and third years will be made to the successful
applicant from this solicitation--provided the recipient performs
satisfactorily in the first 12-month period. Funds may not be used for
construction, or to acquire or build real property.
