Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) grant opportunity titled "National Institute of Corrections Inaugural Virtual Conference Event Planning and Delivery" (Funding Opportunity Number 12AC07) sought a single partner to plan and deliver NICs first virtual conference for corrections professionals. The project was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning NIC anticipated active involvement during the project rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final product. The proposed project period was nine months, with the central deliverable being a fully executed online conference titled "Handcuff Key to Door Key: A Systems Approach to Re-Entry," focused on reentry as a system-wide corrections issue.
The scope of work emphasized end-to-end conference development and execution. Applicants were expected to handle the design of the virtual event, build the schedule, and coordinate the program flow, as well as manage promotion and outreach so the target audience would be aware of and able to participate. On the production side, the awardee would be responsible for the technical and logistical elements needed to run a professional virtual conference experience, including the platform setup, session delivery, and overall event management. In short, the project combined event planning, communications/marketing, and technical production, all tailored to a corrections professional audience and aligned with NIC priorities around reentry practices.
The opportunity was listed as discretionary funding and categorized under "Other," with the clarification that it supported a virtual conference for corrections professionals. The associated CFDA number was 16.601 (Corrections Training and Staff Development), signaling that the purpose was professional development and training-oriented dissemination rather than direct service delivery. No cost sharing or matching requirement was included, lowering barriers for applicants who could deliver the work without providing additional non-federal funds.
Eligibility was broad and intentionally inclusive. NIC indicated that any public or private agency, educational institution, organization, individual, or team could apply, as long as they had expertise relevant to the areas described in the announcement. This framing opened the door to a range of capable applicants such as training organizations, event production firms with experience in virtual delivery, criminal justice nonprofits, universities, or consultants with a background in corrections training and conference production.
Administratively, NIC expected to make one award. The posting date and creation date were July 25, 2012, with an application deadline of August 8, 2012, and the opportunity archived on August 9, 2012. The public listing displayed an award ceiling and floor of 0, which typically indicates that specific funding amounts were provided in the full announcement rather than in the summary record. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement on the NIC website for detailed requirements, deliverables, and submission instructions. For help accessing the full announcement, the contact provided was Pamela Davison, Administrative Assistant, at 202-353-0484 (noted for technical assistance only).
