Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) offered a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 12CS06) to fund the development of a practical guide that helps correctional agencies establish tele-visiting capacity inside correctional facilities. The project was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient would be expected to work in close coordination with NIC rather than operating entirely independently. The overall purpose was to produce a usable, field-oriented guide that correctional administrators and staff could rely on when planning, implementing, and operating televisiting programs, which generally refers to video-based visitation options that supplement or, in some cases, partially replace in-person visits.
The project period was 18 months, with NIC expecting to make one award. The maximum available funding (award ceiling) was $48,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute additional non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive. The funding falls under CFDA 16.601, which covers Corrections Training and Staff Development, reflecting that the main deliverable is a capacity-building and guidance resource intended to strengthen correctional operations and staff practice rather than direct service delivery.
Eligibility was broad. NIC indicated that eligible applicants could include state or local government entities, private agencies, educational institutions, organizations, individuals, or teams, as long as they had expertise relevant to the work described and could demonstrate the ability to carry out a project of this size and scope. In practice, that means NIC was open to proposals from a wide range of applicants, including consultants or collaborative teams, provided they could show credible experience with corrections, technology implementation, policy development, operational planning, and similar competencies needed to produce an authoritative implementation guide.
Key administrative details include the posting and creation date of June 28, 2012, with an original and final closing date of August 3, 2012, and an archive date of August 4, 2012. The opportunity referenced a full announcement hosted on NIC's website for complete requirements and expectations. For applicants who had trouble accessing the announcement, NIC listed Pamela Davison, Administrative Assistant, as the contact point at (202) 353-0484, with the note that this line was for technical assistance only.
