Opportunity Information: Apply for INL AMESAUDIAARABIA RSOI0009 02032017

The Female Corrections Academy Training, Development, and Mentoring Assistance Project is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). It falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category (CFDA 19.703) and is identified by the funding opportunity number INL AMESAUDIAARABIA RSOI0009 02032017. Based on the title and description, the project is aimed at supporting the creation or strengthening of a female-focused corrections academy program through training, structured development activities, and mentoring support, with the apparent geographic focus tied to Saudi Arabia.

The opportunity is open to a specific set of eligible applicants. On the U.S. side, applicants may be registered U.S. nonprofit organizations that hold 501(c)(3) status under the Internal Revenue Code, as well as U.S. universities or research institutions that also qualify under 501(c)(3). The notice also allows organizations that are not yet fully registered as 501(c)(3) at the time of application, but only if they can provide documentation showing they are actively seeking that status from the Internal Revenue Service when the proposal is submitted; if selected, any final award would be contingent on achieving 501(c)(3) status. In addition to U.S. entities, the opportunity explicitly includes Saudi Arabia-based nonprofits or educational institutions, provided they are registered in-country or can submit proof that they are in the process of obtaining Saudi registration at the time they apply. The eligible applicant categories listed in the source data also reference public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, indicating a fairly broad higher education and nonprofit eligibility framework, but with the narrative requirements emphasizing 501(c)(3) (for U.S. organizations) and Saudi in-country registration (for Saudi organizations).

Administratively, the grant was posted on February 3, 2017, with an original closing date of April 3, 2017. The funding instrument type is listed as "Other," which typically signals an assistance mechanism that may not fit neatly into a standard grant or cooperative agreement label in the summary data, though it is still a competitive discretionary opportunity. The award ceiling is shown as 0 in the listing, which usually means the maximum award amount was not specified in the public synopsis or was to be determined based on proposals, available funds, or program needs. The listing also does not state an expected number of awards in the provided fields, suggesting that either the number was not fixed or was not included in the summary information.

In practical terms, this opportunity is essentially a call for capable nonprofit or academic organizations in the United States and/or Saudi Arabia to propose a program that helps build institutional capacity around training women working in corrections. The core themes implied by the title are curriculum and academy development, professional training delivery, and ongoing mentoring or advisory support, all aligned with INL's broader mission area of international law enforcement and justice-sector assistance.
