Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) offered this discretionary funding opportunity to support the creation of a practical, public-domain guidebook focused on building and sustaining high performance correctional organizations. The work was designed to pull together and consolidate lessons, tools, and approaches developed through NICs High Performance Correctional Organizations Project over the prior four years, along with related NIC efforts such as Building High Performance Correctional Organizations (BHPCO). The end product was intended for real-world use by correctional administrators and leaders across different settings, with an emphasis on improving organizational performance in jails, prisons, and community corrections.
The award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, meaning NIC expected an active partnership role rather than a hands-off grant. The project period was eight months, scheduled to begin in September 2010, with the goal of moving efficiently from existing project knowledge to a structured guidebook that could be broadly disseminated. NIC anticipated making a single award under this announcement, signaling that applicants needed to show they could manage the full scope of development, synthesis, writing, and preparation for publication within a tight timeframe.
Key administrative details include Funding Opportunity Number 10M15 under CFDA 16.602 (Corrections Research and Evaluation and Policy Formulation). The maximum available funding (award ceiling) was 100,000 dollars, with no stated minimum (award floor of 0), and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted July 20, 2010, with an application deadline of August 2, 2010, and it was scheduled to be archived September 1, 2010.
Eligibility was broad and intentionally inclusive. NIC allowed proposals from public or private agencies, educational institutions, organizations, individuals, or teams, as long as they could demonstrate relevant expertise in the subject areas described. In practical terms, the ideal applicant would be able to translate prior NIC project work into a clear, organized, and usable guide that correctional leaders could apply to strengthen organizational effectiveness and performance across correctional environments. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, NIC listed Pamela Davison as the administrative contact at 202-353-0484.
