Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) offered a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 09PEI30) to support a 12-month cooperative agreement beginning in September 2009 focused on organizational culture and performance in the corrections field. The core purpose of the award was to help NIC advance practical, field-relevant work by convening subject matter experts and turning their knowledge into usable guidance for correctional agencies.
Under the cooperative agreement, the recipient would be responsible for organizing up to four meetings of subject matter experts. These meetings were intended to inform NIC and practitioners about how to better understand, assess, and improve organizational culture in correctional settings, with an emphasis on performance outcomes. The solicitation highlighted several likely meeting topics: improving approaches for evaluating organizational culture assessments, including the use of focus groups; effective design and use of staff surveys in correctional agencies; strategies and lessons learned around culture change in correctional systems; and methods for assessing and changing culture within community corrections agencies, where the organizational context and pressures can differ from institutional settings.
The opportunity anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and no stated minimum (award floor of $0). Cost sharing or matching was not required. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which generally implies ongoing involvement from the federal agency beyond a standard grant, often through collaboration on deliverables, meeting agendas, participant selection, or dissemination of results.
Eligibility was broad. NIC indicated that any public or private agency, educational institution, organization, individual, or team could apply as long as they had relevant expertise in the subject areas described. The program was associated with CFDA number 16.602 (Corrections Research and Evaluation and Policy Formulation), aligning the work with research-informed practice and policy development in corrections.
Key dates for the posting were July 16, 2009 (posted/created), with an application deadline of August 14, 2009, and an archive date of September 13, 2009. For applicants who could not access the announcement online, NIC provided a point of contact: Pamela Davison, Administrative Assistant, at (202) 353-0484.
