Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC), through its Jails Division, announced a discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 09J68) to support the creation of a "Jail Information System Document." The core purpose of the grant is to fund the development of a practical, hands-on document that jail leaders and support personnel can use as a guide for developing, implementing, and effectively using a jail information system. The intended audience is broad within jail operations and technology, specifically jail administrators, managers, and technical support staff who are responsible for selecting, maintaining, or improving information systems that support day-to-day jail functions.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means NIC expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final product. The program is categorized under "Information Systems as it relates to Jails," and it aligns with the Corrections Training and Staff Development CFDA listing (16.601). NIC anticipated making a single award under this announcement, indicating a competitive selection designed to identify one applicant (or one team) best positioned to produce a nationally useful guidance document.
Eligibility is intentionally broad. NIC solicited applications from state governments and general units of local government as well as private agencies, educational institutions, organizations, individuals, or teams, as long as they have expertise relevant to jail information systems and can demonstrate the capacity to manage a project of this size and scope. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, lowering barriers for qualified applicants that may not have additional funds to contribute.
Key administrative details include an original and final closing date of April 2, 2009, with the opportunity posted and created on March 11, 2009, and archived on May 2, 2009. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which in many federal postings is used when the exact funding amount is not specified in the summary field and is instead detailed in the full announcement. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Pamela Davison, Administrative Assistant, at (202) 353-0484.
