Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) announced a discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 13AC02) to support the production of live, interactive training broadcasts delivered nationwide via satellite and the Internet. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected applicant would work closely with NIC over a project period of up to 12 months, beginning in March 2013. The overall purpose is corrections-focused instruction and staff development, reflected in the CFDA listing 16.601 (Corrections Training and Staff Development) and NICs stated category explanation: production of satellite/Internet broadcasts for corrections instruction.
The core deliverable is the production of at least five live broadcasts totaling 15 broadcast hours. NIC is open to how those hours are used creatively, allowing applicants either to follow NICs traditional three-hour long-form talk show style or to propose alternative formats that still meet the training and engagement goals. The broadcasts are described as interactive training events designed for a national audience, with both on-air and off-air activities integrated into each program. In practical terms, the programming can be organized as standalone three-hour broadcasts and/or as two-day events totaling six hours (three hours each day), suggesting NIC expected a mix of single-session and multi-session training designs depending on topic and instructional needs.
Beyond the live broadcasts themselves, the cooperative agreement also covers creation of supporting media intended to strengthen the instructional impact and production quality. This includes producing pre-recorded video clips and screen captures to be used during the broadcasts, either to enhance teaching and demonstrations or to improve the overall look and feel of the visual materials and set elements. In other words, the opportunity is not limited to live studio time; it also funds the packaged content and visual assets that make a broadcast training program more effective and professionally produced.
Eligibility is broad. NIC indicated that any public or private agency, educational institution, organization, individual, or team may apply as long as they have expertise relevant to producing these kinds of interactive satellite/Internet training broadcasts and associated video assets. The solicitation anticipated making a single award. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, and the published award floor and ceiling were listed as 0, which typically signals that applicants should consult the full announcement for the expected budget range and related financial details.
Key dates in the notice include a posted and created date of February 13, 2013, with an original and current closing date of March 8, 2013, and an archive date of March 9, 2013. NIC directed applicants to the full announcement on its website for complete requirements. For access issues related to the full announcement, the contact listed was Pamela Steely, Administrative Assistant, at 202-353-0484 (with the note indicating this line was for technical questions only).
