Opportunity Summary:
The Children of Incarcerated Parents Arrest Through Pre Adjudication opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 13CS22) was a discretionary National Institute of Corrections (NIC) solicitation to fund one cooperative agreement focused on improving outcomes for children whose parents are arrested and held in local jails. The project was designed as an 18-month effort scheduled to start no later than September 15, 2013, and it centered on producing a practical, guiding framework document that lays out promising practices for agencies and practitioners who influence what happens to families during the earliest stages of justice system involvement.
The core purpose of the award was to take a close, structured look at the criminal justice continuum from the point of arrest and jail incarceration through the pre-adjudication phase, then translate what is learned into an actionable framework. In this context, pre-adjudication includes key decision points such as pretrial processes, release decisions, diversion options, guilty adjudication outcomes, and reentry from local jails. A major emphasis of the work was to examine how choices made by law enforcement, courts, jails, and related community partners during these stages can either worsen or reduce harm to children of incarcerated parents. The intent was not just descriptive research, but a practice-oriented product that highlights how systems can operate in more family-aware and child-sensitive ways without undermining public safety or court requirements.
Another central deliverable was the identification and spotlighting of innovations and promising practices that have demonstrated positive effects for this population. This means the selected applicant was expected to gather and synthesize approaches that help stabilize children and caregivers when a parent is taken into custody, reduce trauma and disruption, support appropriate family connections when safe, and improve coordination between justice agencies and human service systems. The announcement framed the work as collaborative, with the project operating in partnership with NICs Community Services Division, which suggests ongoing coordination, feedback, and joint shaping of the final framework rather than an arm’s-length grant relationship.
Administratively, the opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement (not a formula award), indicating NIC anticipated substantial involvement during the period of performance. Only one award was expected. The funding activity category was listed as “Other,” explained as children of incarcerated parents, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity was 16.602 (Corrections Research and Evaluation and Policy Formulation). No cost sharing or matching requirement was specified. Award ceiling and floor were listed as zero in the source data, which typically signals that the precise funding level was not stated in the summary record and would be defined in the full announcement or negotiated as part of the cooperative agreement.
Eligibility was broad and inclusive. NIC indicated that any public or private agency, educational institution, organization, individual, or team could apply as long as they had relevant expertise in the areas described. The posting date was July 3, 2013, with an application deadline of July 31, 2013, and an archive date of August 30, 2013. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed contact was Melanie Simms, Administrative Officer, at (202) 353-0484.
