Opportunity Summary:
The Corrections Specific Resources for Extended Stakeholder Audiences grant opportunity (NIC Opportunity Number 13RE3) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the National Institute of Corrections (NIC). The purpose is to fund the development of practical, corrections-focused informational resources that answer frequently asked questions from NIC's extended stakeholder audiences, with special attention to family members and community-based constituency groups who interact with or are affected by the correctional system. Rather than targeting only practitioners inside agencies, the project emphasizes clear, accessible materials for people outside traditional corrections leadership circles who still need accurate, usable information.
The selected applicant(s) would work under an 18-month cooperative agreement period, with work required to begin no later than September 15, 2013. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, NIC anticipated an active partnership role, meaning the awardee would not work in isolation. The project is described as a collaborative venture with NIC's Research and Information Services Division, suggesting ongoing coordination on content priorities, review, quality control, and alignment with NIC messaging and evidence-informed practices.
The deliverables are framed as a "series of resources" that respond to corrections-specific FAQs. The announcement gives examples of the types of content NIC was seeking, including original feature writing, fact sheets, audio podcasts, videos, and photography. This indicates the opportunity was designed for applicants with strong communication and media development capabilities, and for teams that can translate complex corrections topics into plain-language products that are useful to non-specialist audiences. The flexibility in media formats also implies NIC was open to a mix of written and multimedia tools, likely intended for web distribution and broad public accessibility.
Eligibility is broad. NIC allowed applications from any public or private agency, educational institution, organization, individual, or team, as long as they have expertise relevant to the work described. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, reducing barriers for smaller organizations or independent experts. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 16.602 (Corrections Research and Evaluation and Policy Formulation), placing it within the broader category of work that supports corrections policy development, information dissemination, and applied research translation.
Key administrative details include the posting date of June 5, 2013, and an application deadline of July 1, 2013, with the archive date of July 31, 2013. The announcement lists an expected number of awards as five, though the award ceiling and floor are both shown as zero in the source data, which typically means the specific dollar amounts were either not provided in the summary fields or were detailed elsewhere in the full announcement. Applicants were instructed to prominently include the opportunity number 13RE3 in multiple places: the reference line of the cover letter, Standard Form 424 (section 11) along with the proposal title, and the right-justified header of the proposal, highlighting that NIC was attentive to proper identification and routing of submissions.
For support accessing the full announcement, the contact provided is Melanie Simms, Administrative Officer, reachable at (202) 305-8408. Overall, this opportunity focused on producing well-crafted, stakeholder-friendly corrections information products through an NIC-guided collaboration, with the goal of improving understanding and engagement among families and community groups connected to the corrections system.
