Opportunity Summary:

This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 11CC07) was issued by the National Institute of Corrections (NIC), Community Services Division, to support the management and delivery of technical assistance connected to NICs broader Evidence Based Decision Making (EBDM) in Local Criminal Justice Systems initiative. The award was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient would work closely with NIC staff and coordinate activities with other Phase III award recipients who were providing related services under the same national project. The planned period of performance was up to twelve months, starting around September 2011, and the purpose was to help local criminal justice jurisdictions strengthen decision making practices using evidence based approaches.

The core work described in the announcement had two main parts. First, the recipient would provide direct technical assistance to four pre-identified Phase III Tier II sites. These sites had already been selected within NICs EBDM project framework, and the awardee would support them in implementing or refining EBDM strategies in local criminal justice operations. Second, the recipient would also provide ad hoc, as-needed technical assistance to additional sites that were not part of the formal EBDM site cohort. Those non-EBDM sites were not named in the solicitation and would be identified collaboratively by the award recipient and NIC staff over the course of the project, reflecting a flexible support role that could respond to emerging needs or requests.

The opportunity was discretionary, categorized under technical assistance in a criminal justice setting, and tied to CFDA 16.603 (Corrections Technical Assistance/Clearinghouse). NIC expected to make a single award, with an award ceiling of $165,000 and no required cost sharing or matching. Eligibility was broad: any public or private agency, educational institution, organization, individual, or team could apply as long as they could demonstrate relevant expertise in the areas described, particularly the ability to manage and deliver technical assistance in local criminal justice environments and to work in coordination with multiple partners under a larger national initiative.

Key administrative details included a posting date of August 10, 2011, and an application closing date of August 24, 2011, with the opportunity archived on August 25, 2011. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, NIC listed a technical assistance contact, Pamela Davison, Administrative Assistant, at 202-353-0484, specifically for help with accessing the announcement rather than programmatic questions.
