Solicitation for a Cooperative Agreement
AGENCY: U.S. Department of Justice, National Institute of Corrections.
ACTION: Solicitation for a Cooperative Agreement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Justice (DOJ), National Institute of
Corrections (NIC) announces plans for award of a cooperative agreement
to fund a ``Training for Trainers and Facilitators Project: A Training
Program for Staff in Staff and Local Corrections Agencies.''
Purpose: The National Institute of Corrections is seeking proposals
for a cooperative agreement to deliver training for advanced
correctional trainers in training design and development and to develop
curriculum and train facilitators in state and local corrections
agencies. The Training for Trainers and Facilitators Project 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 $111,000 (direct and indirect costs) for one
cooperative agreement. Funds may not be used for construction, or to
acquire or build real property. If the cooperative agreement is not
awarded by September 30, 1997, the government's obligation under this
cooperative agreement is contingent upon the availability of
appropriated funds in FY 98 from which payment can be made. No legal
liability on the part of the government for any payment may arise until
funds are made available to NIC for this cooperative agreement and
until the awardee receives notice in writing of such availability.
Deadline for Receipt of Applications: Applications must be received
by NIC's Washington Offices by 4:00 p.m., Eastern time on Friday,
August 29, 1997.
