Tribal Resource Guide Tribal Resource Guide
The Corrections Program Office, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice compiled

the information contained in this guide in 2001, and has requested that NIC post it on its Web site.

The Tribal Resource Guide offers a brief synopsis of program objectives, applicant eligibility, 

eligible beneficiaries, the types of assistance available, and contact information for each resource.

While much effort and research went into trying to make this guide as accurate and current as 

possible, it does not guarantee the availability of funds, nor does it guarantee that a grant’s criteria

and direction will remain the same. 

The intent of this guide is to provide the reader with the current options being offered by various

federal agencies. Please use this guide with the understanding that deadlines for application may

have already passed. To ensure the availability of a resource listed in this guide, please use the 

contact information provided to contact the awarding federal office directly. The information 

provided here should serve as a guide when researching past, present, and future options.

As part of the mission of the National Institute of Corrections (NIC), to provide information and

services to its customers, we are pleased to be able to offer the Tribal Resource Guide on our 

Web site. NIC welcomes any suggestions you may have regarding the content and style of this 

publication. Please feel free to complete the Feedback Form located at the end of the guide 

regarding this publication and suggestions on how NIC can serve you better.
