Opportunity Information: Apply for 19CS02

The Department of Justice's National Institute of Corrections (NIC) is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement titled "Veteran Informed Care Training on Responsivity - Phase II" (Funding Opportunity Number 19CS02). The opportunity supports NIC's broader mission as a national center for learning and innovation in corrections, with this specific project focusing on the practical needs of justice-involved veterans who come into contact with local criminal justice systems. The core idea is to strengthen how criminal justice professionals respond to veterans by improving frontline understanding of how military service, and experiences connected to it, can shape behavior, needs, and engagement in justice settings.

The grant centers on a training program NIC has already developed that addresses "responsivity" issues when working with veterans. In this context, responsivity generally means tailoring communication, supervision strategies, case management, and program interactions so they fit the individual's background and circumstances, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. The training is intended for professionals who work directly with justice-involved veterans in local systems, aiming to build real-world skills that translate into better day-to-day interactions and decision-making. By helping staff better interpret and respond to veterans' service-related experiences, the program is designed to improve how jurisdictions manage this population and to support veterans in navigating the justice process more successfully.

NIC frames the expected benefits in terms of both individual and system outcomes. On the public safety side, the training is meant to reduce recidivism by increasing the effectiveness of supervision and interventions with veterans, especially when service-related factors may influence risk, needs, or compliance. On the system side, jurisdictions that adopt the training should see improved outcomes through more informed practices, potentially including better coordination with veteran-specific resources and more appropriate responses that prevent avoidable setbacks. On the individual side, veterans should experience interactions that reflect a clearer understanding of military culture and service-related challenges, which can improve engagement and overall case outcomes.

From an administrative standpoint, this is a cooperative agreement, meaning NIC expects active involvement in the project rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The listing indicates an award ceiling of $60,000, with one award expected. The opportunity was created on November 8, 2018, with an original closing date of January 7, 2019. It is associated with CFDA 16.601. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with further clarification typically provided in the full solicitation under the eligibility section. Overall, the opportunity is focused on advancing a structured, veteran-informed training effort that helps local criminal justice professionals work more effectively with justice-involved veterans, with the long-term aim of improving outcomes and strengthening public safety.
