24AC01 Grant Notice: Training for Thinking for a Change Facilitators in Corrections

The National Institute of Corrections has recently publicized a continuation of funding under the grant number 24AC01, specifically for the “Thinking for a Change Training for Trainers” program. This grant, with an estimated funding of $80,000, is dedicated to offering training and support to facilitators of the Thinking for a Change program from various corrections agencies, including local, state, federal, and tribal entities. The initiative underscores a significant investment in enhancing the skills and methodologies of those responsible for implementing this influential cognitive-behavioral program in correctional settings.

“Thinking for a Change” is a program that integrates cognitive restructuring with social and problem-solving skills development, tailored for individuals in correctional facilities. The funding aims to empower trainers who will, in turn, facilitate this program more effectively within their respective agencies. This grant is not a call for applications but serves as a notice for the continuation of the cooperative agreement award 23AC02GLN1. The National Institute of Corrections, by reinforcing this program, demonstrates a commitment to innovative and effective correctional training, aiming to positively impact the rehabilitation processes within the corrections system. This initiative is a vital step towards fostering better outcomes in corrections training and staff development, aligning with the broader goals of improving rehabilitation strategies and reducing recidivism.
