Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, issued by the National Institute of Corrections (NIC), seeks one recipient to carry out meeting coordination and facilitation work under an 18-month cooperative agreement starting in September 2010. The purpose is to support and strengthen correctional research planning and collaboration by organizing a total of four structured convenings: two annual meetings of the Institutional Corrections Research Network (ICRN), plus two additional subject matter expert meetings focused on identifying and prioritizing correctional research needs across different parts of the correctional system.
The core work described is logistical and substantive coordination for these meetings. Two events are the ICRN annual meetings, which are intended to bring together researchers and corrections practitioners to share knowledge, discuss current and emerging research, and help shape research directions related to institutional corrections. In addition to those network meetings, the awardee must organize one meeting specifically focused on the research needs of jails, recognizing that jail operations, populations, and constraints can differ significantly from prisons and may require distinct research priorities. The fourth meeting is designed to develop a combined or unified research agenda that spans prisons, jails, and community corrections, encouraging a system-wide perspective and alignment on research questions that cut across institutional and community settings.
Administratively, the opportunity is a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning NIC expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal agency interaction. The activity category is listed as “Other,” clarified as “Institutional Research Network Meeting Coordination,” which signals that the deliverable is not a traditional research study or direct service program, but coordination of expert-driven research agenda-setting and network convening activities. Only one award is anticipated, with an award ceiling of $150,000 and no minimum award floor specified. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is broad. NIC states that any public or private agency, educational institution, organization, individual, or team may apply as long as they have expertise relevant to the work described. In practice, this points toward applicants with demonstrated capacity to plan and run multi-stakeholder meetings, manage project logistics and budgets, and support research agenda development in corrections settings, including the ability to engage researchers, practitioners, and policy stakeholders.
Key dates included a posted and creation date of June 30, 2010, with an application closing deadline of July 23, 2010, and an archive date of August 22, 2010. The associated CFDA number is 16.602, titled “Corrections Research and Evaluation and Policy Formulation,” which places this opportunity within NIC’s broader corrections research, evaluation, and policy development mission. For access issues with the full announcement, the listed contact was Pamela Davison, Administrative Assistant, at (202) 353-0484.
