The Crisis Intervention Teams for Corrections Training funding opportunity by the Department of Justice's National Institute of Corrections (NIC) is a cooperative agreement initiative to deliver training for Crisis Intervention Teams (CIT) in corrections environments. This training will be provided to up to two jail agencies and two prison agencies. This notice does not solicit new applications; instead, it announces the continuation of an existing Cooperative Agreement (22JD18GLM5).
The funding opportunity, identified as 25JD07, has an estimated total funding amount of $180,000, with an award ceiling of the same amount. The opportunity does not require cost-sharing or matching funds. Applications for this specific continuation must adhere to the existing agreement structure, and new proposals are not being accepted.
The program's objective is to ensure the continued delivery of CIT training, which equips corrections staff with the skills needed to manage individuals experiencing mental health crises effectively. Such training improves safety outcomes for staff and incarcerated individuals while enhancing the ability of agencies to address mental health challenges in corrections facilities.
