Description

The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) is seeking proposals for a cooperative agreement to develop a research-based training model. The purpose of this model is to improve trauma-informed crisis responses for individuals with mental illness and developmental disabilities in a carceral setting. The training program should educate and prepare jail and prison staff to appropriately interact with these individuals.

The training model should be developed by an institution of higher education or a non-profit, for-profit, or tribal organization in collaboration with healthcare and corrections professionals. It should take a multidisciplinary approach and focus on understanding behavioral health, including mental illness and substance use disorders, as well as intellectual and developmental disabilities. The training should also cover topics such as developing empathy, navigating community resources, and de-escalation skills.

The centerpiece of the training program should be a 40-hour Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) train-the-trainer program. The goal is to equip all staff working in prisons and jails with the necessary skills to provide trauma-informed care.

The total funding available for this opportunity is $1,000,000, with an expected number of awards being one. The closing date for applications is June 24, 2024. Non-profit organizations, for-profit organizations, tribal organizations, and institutions of higher education are eligible to apply. However, foreign governments, international organizations, and non-governmental international organizations/institutions are not eligible.

HEAL Initiative: JCOIN Phase II Clinical Research Hubs (UM1 Clinical Trial Required)

National Institutes of Health
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has posted a grant opportunity titled "HEAL Initiative: JCOIN Phase II Clinical Research Hubs (UM1 Clinical Trial Required)". This grant opportunity falls under the category of Health and is a Cooperative Agreement. The grant aims to address the overdose crisis in the context of the criminal justice system by increasing the delivery of and access to Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) to justice-involved populations. Individuals in the US justice system are disproportionately likely to have Substance Use Disorder/Opioid Use Disorder (SUD/OUD) and are at high risk for opioid withdrawal upon incarceration. They are also at an elevated risk for overdose post-release if they have not received MOUD while detained. However, most US jails do not offer MOUD to everyone who could benefit from it. The HEAL Initiative's JCOIN Phase II Clinical Research Hubs focuses on translating research into practice to address the overdose crisis specifically within the criminal justice system. The grant aims to conduct hybrid effectiveness-implementation trials to overcome key barriers to delivering evidence-based OUD treatments to justice-involved populations. This grant opportunity is unique as it has a primary focus on justice-involved populations and criminal-legal systems. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching. The maximum award ceiling is $5,000,000. The eligibility for this grant opportunity extends to various entities, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISISs), eligible agencies of the Federal Government, faith-based or community-based organizations, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Other than Federally Recognized), regional organizations, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), U.S. Territories or Possessions. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities and components are not eligible to apply. The closing date for this grant opportunity is January 22, 2025, and the archive date is February 27, 2025.
