Opportunity Summary:

The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) released a discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 11AD05) seeking a single recipient to produce and publish a Corrections Mental Health Newsletter on a quarterly schedule. The work is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning NIC would expect to have an active partnership role with the awardee rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The initial period of performance is twelve months, with the expectation that the first issue would come out in Fall/Winter 2011 and that the newsletter would then continue on a quarterly cycle throughout the following fiscal year. NIC also signaled the possibility of extending the effort through additional cooperative agreements for up to two more successive years (2012 and 2013), allowing continuity of publication if performance and agency needs support renewal.

The purpose of the project is to provide timely, practical, and research-informed information to a corrections audience that deals with or is interested in mental health issues across the full spectrum of correctional settings, including community corrections, prisons, and jails. NIC wants the newsletter to serve as a reliable channel for up-to-date news, emerging research, noteworthy developments, relevant issues affecting correctional mental health practice, and features that highlight training opportunities and effective programs. In other words, the newsletter is meant to function as a curated, corrections-specific mental health resource that helps practitioners and leaders stay current and translate knowledge into operations.

Eligibility is broad. NIC indicated that applicants may include private agencies, educational institutions, organizations, individuals, or teams, as long as they can demonstrate expertise in the relevant subject matter and in producing the type of publication described. The opportunity is tied to CFDA 16.601 (Corrections Training and Staff Development). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.

The solicitation anticipated one award. The posting date and creation date were July 26, 2011, with an application closing date of August 29, 2011, and an archive date of August 30, 2011. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as zero, which typically means the specific funding amount was not stated in the synopsis and would need to be confirmed in the full announcement or through the NIC contact. For applicants needing access to the full announcement, the notice provided a point of contact: Pamela Davison, Administrative Assistant, at 202-353-0484.
