Facilitated Dialogue: Victim-Offender Dialogue Training for Facilitators

The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) under the Department of Justice has announced a continuation of funding for the cooperative agreement award 22PR08GLM7, titled "Facilitated Dialogue: Victim-Offender Dialogue Training for Facilitators." This opportunity is not open for new applications but is intended to notify the public of ongoing funding aimed at advancing post-conviction victim services. The initiative seeks to enhance educational programs for facilitated dialogue practitioners, providing specialized training to improve post-conviction engagement between victims and offenders. The total estimated funding available for this continuation award is $120,000, with no cost-sharing or matching funds required. This funding will support the continued development and education of facilitators who engage in victim-offender dialogues, focusing on post-conviction contexts, which can contribute to restorative justice and healing for victims. The cooperative agreement reflects NIC's commitment to training and staff development within the corrections field, as listed under Assistance Listings number 16.601.
