Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC), through its Community Corrections Division, offered a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Evidence Based Strategic Planning in Southern California" (Funding Opportunity Number 09C81). The purpose of the project was to support the creation of evidence-based strategic plans for four county probation departments in Southern California. Rather than funding direct services or long-term implementation, the award was specifically designed to cover the front-end planning stage: helping each probation department develop an initial, structured strategy grounded in evidence-based corrections practices.
The work was structured as a nine-month planning effort carried out in close coordination with NIC. Because the funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, NIC staff were not just passive funders; they were expected to actively direct and participate in the planning process. This involvement was intended to ensure the strategic plans developed across the four sites were consistent with NIC standards and aligned with other evidence-based planning and implementation initiatives already being coordinated by the agency.
Eligibility was broad and included state or local government entities, private agencies, educational institutions, organizations, and qualified individuals or teams, as long as they had demonstrated expertise in the relevant subject matter and the capacity to implement a project of this size and scope. The opportunity was listed under CFDA 16.602 (Corrections Research and Evaluation and Policy Formulation) and fell under an "Other" activity category clarified as evidence-based practices in corrections. No cost sharing or matching funds were required.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on April 13, 2009, with an application deadline of June 2, 2009, and it was archived on July 2, 2009. The listing indicated an expectation of a single award. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the contact provided was Pamela Davison, Administrative Assistant, reachable by phone at 202-353-0484.
