Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) released a discretionary grant opportunity, Funding Opportunity Number 13CS14, titled "Evidence Based Decision Making in State and Local Criminal Justice." The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which means the recipient should expect to work closely with NIC rather than operate fully independently. The goal is to extend NIC's existing Evidence Based Decision Making (EBDM) in Local Criminal Justice Systems initiative by strengthening coordination across jurisdictions already receiving EBDM technical assistance and by building out a practical statewide approach for implementing EBDM.
The project period is 15 months and was intended to begin no later than August 15, 2013. NIC anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $480,000 and no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for applicants who may not have additional funds to contribute. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 16.602 (Corrections Research and Evaluation and Policy Formulation). The application window was short and time-bound: it was posted July 16, 2013 and closed August 5, 2013, with the announcement later archived on September 4, 2013.
Eligibility was broad and inclusive. NIC indicated that any public or private agency, educational institution, organization, individual, or team could apply, as long as they had demonstrated expertise in the relevant subject areas. This suggests the work required a mix of policy knowledge, criminal justice system experience, technical assistance delivery capability, and the project management skills needed to coordinate multiple jurisdictions and stakeholders.
In terms of the work itself, NIC wanted the awardee to focus on the practical planning and infrastructure needed for statewide EBDM implementation. A major deliverable was to design a comprehensive statewide implementation structure, including the development of a technical assistance plan and the creation of tools that build capacity both in local jurisdictions and among state-level criminal justice planning bodies. Another key task was revising NIC's foundational guidance document, "A Framework for Evidence Based Decision Making in Local Criminal Justice Systems," by adding and updating content so it better supports statewide implementation, not just local system change.
The cooperative agreement also required the recipient to develop a selection process and related tools to identify a state with the strongest potential for successful statewide planning and implementation of EBDM. In addition, the awardee was expected to provide technical assistance to existing EBDM sites and to engage their associated statewide entities, such as criminal justice coordinating councils and executive administration, to prepare them for statewide planning efforts. All of this work was described as a collaborative venture with NIC's Community Services Division, reinforcing that the effort would involve continuous coordination, feedback, and alignment with NIC priorities and ongoing EBDM activities.
