Opportunity Information: Apply for 23PR16
The Women s Risk and Need Assessment (WRNA) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 23PR16) is a Department of Justice initiative administered through the National Institute of Corrections. It supports work connected to the WRNA, a gender-responsive risk and needs assessment approach created over roughly a decade and grounded in Canadian research on how and why women become involved in the criminal legal system. The central idea behind the WRNA is that women s pathways into justice involvement often differ from men s, and that assessments used for men can miss key factors for women or misjudge their actual level of risk. As a result, women can be over-classified (placed in more restrictive settings than warranted) or, less often, under-classified, which can affect housing decisions, supervision levels, and access to the right services.
The opportunity emphasizes that earlier tools frequently failed to capture dynamic risk factors and other issues that are especially salient for women, including needs that may be shaped by trauma histories, relationships, caregiving roles, and other gender-linked realities highlighted in gender-responsive research and theory. When assessment instruments are not well matched to women s circumstances, the downstream impact can be serious: programs and services may not be offered because the need was never accurately identified, and the required completion of assessment forms can degrade into a paperwork exercise where results are filed away instead of being used to drive real decisions about placement, supervision strategies, and individualized case planning.
In contrast, the WRNA is presented as a tool designed to more accurately account for women s risk and needs and to translate assessment findings into practical case planning. The description notes that the WRNA has been applied both nationally and internationally across multiple points in the correctional continuum, including pretrial contexts and community supervision, indicating its intended flexibility for different settings where women are assessed and managed.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. It was categorized under CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 16.601. The posting listed a total anticipated award ceiling of 100,000 dollars, with one expected award. The opportunity was created on March 24, 2023, and had an original closing date of May 23, 2023. Eligibility was listed broadly as "Others," with further clarification referenced in an additional eligibility section not included in the provided text.Apply for 23PR16
