Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity called "Production of Seven Satellite/Internet Broadcasts" (Funding Opportunity Number 09A54) is a FY 2009 discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Justice, National Institute of Corrections (NIC). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning NIC expects to be actively involved with the selected recipient during planning and delivery rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program sits under CFDA 16.601 (Corrections Training and Staff Development) and is framed as "Technology Training in Corrections," with the core purpose of producing and delivering training content to the corrections field through satellite and Internet-based broadcasts.
The work funded under this opportunity centers on producing seven separate broadcast programs that NIC intends to deliver during FY 2009. Five of those programs are nationwide satellite/Internet broadcasts, each running between three and four hours. In addition to those five, NIC is planning one eight-hour broadcast specifically aimed at site coordinators, positioned as preparatory training for a larger 32-hour program. The seventh program is described as a satellite/Internet training program totaling sixteen hours, delivered as four hours per day across four days (Monday through Thursday). Altogether, the expected output is 39 total hours of broadcast training time across the fiscal year, which implies the awardee will be responsible not just for content development but also for the end-to-end production workflow needed to deliver multiple multi-hour live or live-to-tape events.
NIC anticipated making one award under this announcement. No cost sharing or matching is required. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically indicates that the specific funding amount was not published in the summary data and would be detailed in the full solicitation or negotiated as part of the cooperative agreement. The opportunity was posted and created on November 3, 2008, with an application closing date of November 21, 2008, and an archive date of December 21, 2008.
Eligibility is broad and focuses on capability rather than organizational type. NIC states that any public or private agency, educational institution, organization, individual, or team may apply as long as they have expertise relevant to the described work. In practical terms, that suggests NIC was looking for applicants with a strong track record in corrections-related training and the technical and instructional capacity to produce professional satellite/Internet broadcasts at scale, including coordinating schedules, presenters, and production logistics for a nationwide audience.
For access issues related to the full announcement, NIC provided a point of contact: Rita Rippetoe, Executive Assistant, at (202) 514-4222.
