Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0008169
The INL International Accreditation and Certification opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0008169) is a U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement. It was created on May 25, 2021, with an original application closing date of July 9, 2021. INL anticipated making a single award, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $150,000. The program is listed under CFDA 19.703 and is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reflecting that the funded work is primarily analytical and advisory in nature rather than direct operational assistance.
The purpose of the award is to fund a focused analysis that looks across the full criminal justice ecosystem and identifies the competencies that matter most for meaningful, system-wide reform. INL is specifically interested in core skills, capabilities, and professional practices in five interconnected areas: law enforcement, criminal defense, prosecution, the judiciary, and corrections. The central problem the project is meant to address is that, while many competencies in these sectors are widely recognized as important, there are gaps where no broadly accepted international standards exist for accreditation and credentialing. In other words, the opportunity is not simply asking what training is useful; it is asking where the global field lacks shared benchmarks that define quality, professionalism, and accountability across these criminal justice functions.
A key expected output is a set of practical recommendations on how such international accreditation and credentialing standards can or should be developed and then applied. The emphasis is on standards that support a holistic approach to criminal justice reform, meaning reforms that are coordinated across institutions rather than isolated in one part of the system. The analysis is intended to be directly relevant to U.S. foreign assistance, so the recommendations should be framed in a way that helps INL and partners decide where standards would improve programming outcomes, strengthen rule-of-law institutions, and create more consistent measures of competence and performance across different country contexts.
Eligibility is broadly described as "Others," with additional clarification referenced in the opportunity materials. The structure as a cooperative agreement also signals that the Department of State expected an active partnership role during the project, such as collaboration on scope, deliverables, and the practical usability of findings for U.S. assistance efforts. Overall, this is a small, targeted research and policy-development award aimed at mapping international standardization gaps in criminal justice professional competencies and proposing credible pathways to establish and use accreditation and credentialing frameworks in support of INL rule-of-law and justice-sector programming worldwide.Apply for SFOP0008169
