Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Document Tools in Assessing Inmates Risks and Needs The Assessment Interview" (Funding Opportunity Number 11JA05) was offered by the National Institute of Corrections (NIC), specifically its Jails Division, to fund the development of a practical written guide focused on assessment interviewing in jails. The core purpose of the project was to improve how jail staff use interviews to more accurately determine an inmate's risks and needs, and to place that guidance within the larger framework of inmate behavior management. In other words, the final product was expected to help practitioners conduct better, more consistent interviews that support safer and more effective management of inmate behavior in a jail setting.
This was a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement, meaning the NIC anticipated working closely with the award recipient during the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The activity category is listed as "Other," clarified as inmate behavior management, and it falls under CFDA 16.601 (Corrections Training and Staff Development). The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling of $20,000 and no minimum award amount specified. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically makes participation more feasible for smaller agencies, individual experts, or organizations that may not have extra funds to contribute.
Eligibility was intentionally broad. Applications were open to any state or general unit of local government, private agencies, educational institutions, organizations, individuals, or teams, as long as they had expertise in the relevant subject areas and could demonstrate the ability to carry out a project of this size and scope. That emphasis signals NIC was looking for applicants with credible corrections or jail operations experience, along with the capacity to produce a usable, field-ready document on a defined timeline and budget.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on May 27, 2011, with an application closing date of June 24, 2011, and it was archived on June 25, 2011.
