ACTION: Solicitation for a cooperative agreement. SUMMARY: The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) is soliciting proposals from organizations, groups, or individuals to enter into a cooperative agreement for a 12-month project period. Work under this agreement will result in a policy guide for corrections practitioners charged with the care and custody of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) offenders. In addition to providing guidance in selected operational areas (see Goal 2 and Supplementary Information), the guide will provide: (1) A brief summary of the relevant case law, (2) a description of current terms and definitions relevant to the LGBTI population, including an acknowledgment that these terms evolve PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 27581 and change over time, and (3) a list of topics that should be addressed in initial and ongoing staff training. Informational resources, websites, and sources for additional support should accompany each of these three areas. It is anticipated that the policy guide will be used by individuals from Federal, State, and local corrections agencies of all sizes and funding levels, including primarily correctional administrators, medical and mental health staff, and training coordinators. Consequently, the guide must provide sufficient rationale and background information where needed, be easy to understand and convenient to use, and provide resources for further study and followup. Ultimately, the policy guide will allow users to determine best practices for their specific agency or facility; write policy, procedure, and post orders that will allow implementation and monitoring of these practices; and develop staff and offender training and orientation materials. DATES: Applications must be received by 4 p.m. EDT on Friday, June 11, 2010.
