Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) has posted a notice titled "New Jail Planning Initiative" (Funding Opportunity Number 26JD06). The key point is that this posting is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it is a public notice that NIC intends to continue funding an existing cooperative agreement already on the books: Cooperative Agreement award number 23JD13GLP1. In practical terms, this means NIC is communicating that the work under that existing award is expected to continue, rather than inviting new organizations to apply for the funding.
The opportunity is categorized under "Other" for both the opportunity category and the funding activity category, and the funding mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement. A cooperative agreement typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the funded project compared to a standard grant, often including collaboration on deliverables, direction on technical assistance activities, or coordination around project execution. The CFDA (assistance listing) number associated with this notice is 16.601, which corresponds to NIC programs.
Financially, the notice lists an award ceiling of $350,000 and anticipates one award, consistent with a continuation action for a single existing recipient rather than a new competition. The posting includes an original closing date of March 27, 2026, but because it is explicitly not an application opportunity, that date should be understood as an administrative timeline tied to the notice record rather than a deadline for prospective applicants. The creation date for the posting is March 12, 2026.
Eligibility is shown as "Others," but that field does not change the central message: NIC is not seeking proposals and is not opening this up to new applicants. The only action being communicated is the continuation of funding for the previously established cooperative agreement 23JD13GLP1 under the "New Jail Planning Initiative" title.
