Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 13CS04) was offered by the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) to fund the development and pilot testing of a training curriculum for local pretrial justice system stakeholder teams. The project was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the awardee would be expected to work closely with NIC, specifically in collaboration with the NIC Community Services Division, rather than operating entirely independently. The intent was to support a 15-month effort that needed to begin no later than August 31, 2013, with one award anticipated.
The core purpose of the project was to create and then pilot a curriculum designed for teams of decision-makers who carry primary responsibility for designing, overseeing, and sustaining a jurisdiction's pretrial justice system. NIC emphasized that these teams are the ones who shape the policies and operational practices that determine how people are handled from arrest to trial, including key questions about release and detention. The curriculum was meant to equip these teams to plan, develop, and implement critical pretrial policies and systemwide decisions in a coordinated and collaborative way, grounded in up-to-date legal standards and evidence-based pretrial practices.
A defining feature of the curriculum requirement was the composition of the teams it would serve. NIC specified that participating teams must include, at a minimum, a judge, prosecutor, defense attorney, sheriff or jail administrator, and pretrial director. These roles reflect the central authorities who influence pretrial outcomes, and NIC's approach recognizes that meaningful pretrial reform or system improvement typically requires these parties to work together rather than in isolation. The training was intended to help team members understand both their independent responsibilities and how their roles intersect in day-to-day decision-making, policy development, and ongoing operational management of pretrial processes.
Financially, the award had a ceiling of $70,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding was categorized under CFDA 16.601 (Corrections Training and Staff Development), and the activity category was listed as "Other," clarified as the development and pilot training initiative described in the announcement. The opportunity was posted on June 21, 2013, and closed on July 16, 2013, with an archive date of August 15, 2013.
Eligibility was broad. NIC allowed applications from public or private agencies, educational institutions, organizations, individuals, or teams, as long as the applicant had expertise relevant to the project scope. That design signaled NIC's interest in attracting specialized training developers, criminal justice experts, and practitioners capable of translating current law and research into practical, team-based training materials that jurisdictions could use to improve collaborative pretrial decision-making.
