Opportunity Summary:
The Jail Resource Management Review and Revision opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 12JA03) is a National Institute of Corrections (NIC) cooperative agreement focused on updating and improving NICs existing Jail Resource Management training program. The work is framed as jail curriculum development and is intended to be completed over a nine month project period in close partnership with the NIC Jails Division. Rather than operating independently, the selected awardee is expected to coordinate closely with NIC staff throughout the entire effort, collaborating on planning, content decisions, and overall project execution to ensure the revised training aligns with NIC expectations and current jail operational realities.
This grant centers on revising a training curriculum that helps local jail leaders and practitioners understand, plan for, and manage resources in an environment where budgets are often tight and demands are constant. The applicant must be able to show strong, practical knowledge of how local jails function day to day, including the complexity of jail operations and the role jails play in the broader local justice system. NIC is specifically looking for expertise in common jail budget challenges, methods for analyzing jail resource needs, and the mechanics of developing and presenting budget requests to governing bodies such as county commissions, city councils, or other local budget authorities. Beyond building a request, applicants also need to demonstrate competence in budget management, including how jails track spending, manage competing priorities, and adapt to real-world constraints that local governments routinely face.
A major emphasis of the announcement is instructional quality. NIC requires applicants to demonstrate experience developing training curricula grounded in adult learning principles, with explicit reference to the Instructional Theory into Practice (ITIP) model. In practical terms, this means the revision is not just a content update; it is also about designing training that works in real classrooms and professional learning environments, using proven instructional structure and techniques so participants can apply budgeting and resource management concepts back on the job.
The funding mechanism is a discretionary cooperative agreement, with NIC anticipating a single award. The maximum award amount listed is $80,000, with no stated minimum award floor, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 16.601 (Corrections Training and Staff Development). Eligibility is broad: state and local government entities, private agencies, educational institutions, organizations, individuals, or teams may apply, as long as they can demonstrate the specialized subject matter expertise described and the capacity to carry out a project of this size and scope.
Key dates in the notice show it was posted on January 12, 2012, with an application closing date of February 9, 2012, and an archive date of February 10, 2012. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, NIC provided a contact for technical access issues: Pamela Davison, Administrative Assistant, at 202-353-0484, with the note that the number is for technical questions only.
