Opportunity Summary:
This discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 11JA07) was issued by the National Institute of Corrections (NIC), specifically its Jails Division, to fund the development of a practical written guide focused on setting measurable goals for inmate behavior management (IBM) in local jails. The central purpose is to create a document that helps jail leaders and practitioners define clear, trackable objectives that support successful implementation of NICs six IBM elements. In other words, the deliverable is not an on-the-ground pilot program or training event, but a publication-quality tool that translates the IBM framework into measurable goals and benchmarks that jails can actually use to plan, monitor, and improve implementation.
The project is structured as an 18-month cooperative agreement, meaning NIC expects to be actively involved rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The selected awardee would collaborate closely with NIC staff throughout the process, including shaping the content, aligning it with NICs established IBM model, and ensuring the final product meets NIC standards for dissemination. The funding category is listed as document development related to jails, and the activity category is identified as "Other" with clarification that it is tied to producing this guidance document.
Financially, NIC anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $20,000 and no required cost sharing or matching. The award floor is listed as $0, which typically signals flexibility depending on the proposed scope, but the ceiling indicates this is intended to be a modest, tightly scoped publication project rather than a large-scale research or implementation effort. The associated CFDA listing is 16.601, Corrections Training and Staff Development, which fits the intent of producing a field-facing guide that supports jail operations and staff practice through better goal-setting and performance measurement.
Eligibility was broad and inclusive. NIC opened the competition to state or local government entities, private agencies, educational institutions, organizations, individuals, or teams, as long as they could demonstrate expertise relevant to the work and the capacity to complete a project of this size and complexity. The application requirements emphasize that the applicant must be able to manage the full scope of producing a publishable document and to work effectively in a collaborative, NIC-guided environment.
NIC also outlined specific minimum qualifications it expected applicants to demonstrate. These include deep knowledge of the purpose and operational realities of local jails, including the complexities that affect daily jail management; an understanding that local jails vary widely by size, resources, staffing, and operational sophistication; strong command of NICs six elements of inmate behavior management; proven expertise in defining goals and selecting measurements within the IBM context (so the guidance is not generic performance management, but tailored to how IBM is implemented in jails); and the ability to write and develop documents intended for publication, implying an expectation of professional clarity, organization, and usability for a practitioner audience.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on June 6, 2011, with an original and final closing date of July 1, 2011, and it was archived on July 2, 2011. Questions about accessing the full announcement were directed to Pamela Davison, Administrative Assistant, at 202-353-0484.
