Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) offered a discretionary cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number 14AC02) to support the production of a series of live, interactive Internet training broadcasts delivered nationwide. The project was designed as a three-year effort, beginning September 1, 2014 and extending through fiscal years 2015 and 2016, with continuation each year dependent on the availability of funding. NIC anticipated making a single award under this announcement, and the program falls under CFDA 16.601, Corrections Training and Staff Development. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
The core purpose of the agreement was to fund the production of at least six live Internet broadcasts per year, with NIC inviting applicants to propose creative ways to use a total of 18 broadcast hours annually. Over the full three-year period, that translates to a minimum of eighteen live broadcasts and 54 total hours of live content. NIC indicated that applicants could use NICs traditional three-hour, long-form talk show style format or propose alternative formats, as long as they met the training and engagement goals. The broadcasts were described as interactive training events, structured either as single three-hour programs or as two-day programs totaling six hours (three hours each day), and they were expected to include both on-air and off-air activities to increase participation and instructional impact.
Beyond the live broadcasts themselves, the cooperative agreement also covered the production of supporting media elements intended to improve instructional quality and production value. This included pre-recorded video clips and screen captures that could be integrated into the broadcasts to reinforce learning objectives, demonstrate processes or tools, and generally enhance the visual presentation. NIC also emphasized improving the overall "look and feel" of the broadcast materials and production environment, including visual materials, the set, and other broadcast elements used during the live events.
The effort was explicitly framed as collaborative, with the recipient working closely with the NIC Academy Division. Because the funding instrument was a cooperative agreement (rather than a standard grant), that typically implies a more active role for the federal agency in shaping the work, coordinating content, and ensuring the broadcasts align with NIC training priorities, although the announcement summary mainly highlights collaboration rather than specific oversight mechanics.
Eligibility was broad: any public or private agency, educational institution, organization, individual, or team could apply, as long as they had relevant expertise in the areas described, particularly the ability to plan and produce live Internet broadcasts and develop supporting instructional media. The opportunity was posted July 18, 2014, and closed August 13, 2014, with an archive date of September 12, 2014. For access issues or questions, NIC listed an administrative contact, Melanie Simms, at 202-353-0484.
