Opportunity Summary:
The New Jail Planning Initiative Review and Revision grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 11JA03) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the National Institute of Corrections (NIC), specifically through its Jails Division. The purpose is to update and revise NIC's existing services and materials that support jurisdictions in planning and developing new jail facilities. The work is structured as an 18-month project carried out in close coordination with NIC staff, meaning the selected applicant is expected to collaborate continuously with the agency on planning, development, review cycles, and final revisions rather than operating independently.
Because this is a cooperative agreement, NIC anticipates being actively involved throughout the project period, and the awardee will be working side-by-side with NIC on all major aspects of the effort. The focus is not simply on construction design, but on the full new jail planning process as NIC teaches it, including the operational realities that drive facility needs, the functional purposes of local jails, and the complex constraints local jurisdictions face when attempting to plan for future capacity, safety, staffing, and programming.
To be competitive, applicants must show deep subject-matter and practical expertise in three core areas. First, they must demonstrate in-depth knowledge of local jails, including their purpose, functions, and operational complexities. Second, they must have extensive experience serving in the roles of architect and planner specifically within the NIC-taught new jail planning process, indicating the applicant should be familiar with NIC's approach and standards rather than only general correctional facility design. Third, applicants must have strong curriculum development capability grounded in adult learning principles, with particular emphasis on the Instructional Theory Into Practice (ITIP) model. This signals that a major deliverable is likely training-oriented content or updated instructional materials, and that NIC expects these products to be designed for adult professionals using a proven instructional framework.
The opportunity anticipates making a single award, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $300,000 and no stated minimum (award floor of $0). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The program is associated with CFDA 16.601, Corrections Training and Staff Development, which aligns with the curriculum and training emphasis described in the requirements.
Eligibility is broad and includes state or local government entities, private agencies, educational institutions, organizations, individuals, or teams, as long as they have expertise in the areas described and can demonstrate the capacity to implement a project of this size and scope. The posting date was May 19, 2011, and the application deadline was June 10, 2011 (with the same date listed as both the original and current closing date). For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the listed contact was Pamela Davison, Administrative Assistant, at 202-353-0484.
