Solicitation for a Cooperative Agreement

The Department of Justice (DOJ), National Institute of Corrections (NIC), announces the availability of funds in FY 2000 for a cooperative agreement to fund the project ``Effective Prison Mental Health Services''. NIC will award a one year cooperative agreement to: develop a handbook or manual that will provide information to state correctional agencies in identifying current practices, policies, and procedures and their impact on offenders with mental health disorders. A cooperative agreement is a form of assistance relationship where the National Institute of Corrections is substantially involved during the performance of the award. An award is made to an organization that will, in concert with the Institute, identify the ``effective practices and intervention'' regarding the care and management of offenders with mental health problems.
