Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC), through its Community Services Division, announced a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 12CS04) to support technical assistance site management under NICs broader Evidence Based Decision Making (EBDM) in Local Criminal Justice Systems initiative. The award was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning NIC expected to have an active role in guiding and coordinating the work rather than simply providing funds with minimal involvement. The project period was set for up to 16 months, anticipated to begin in August 2012, and the work was positioned as part of Phase III of the overall EBDM initiative, with the selected recipient expected to coordinate closely with other NIC-funded partners working on related pieces of the same phase.
The purpose of the opportunity was to provide targeted technical assistance focused on evidence-based decision making within local criminal justice systems. In practical terms, the funded organization or individual would function as a site management resource, helping participating jurisdictions or project sites organize, plan, and implement EBDM-related activities and improvements. Because the award was explicitly described as "Technical Assistance in Evidence Based Decision Making in Local Criminal Justice Systems," the emphasis was on implementation support, coordination, and hands-on assistance rather than on basic research or stand-alone program delivery. The work was also designed to fit within a larger, multi-award initiative, so collaboration, alignment with NIC direction, and coordination with other cooperative agreement awardees were central expectations.
NIC planned to make a single award under this announcement (Expected Awards: 1). The maximum possible funding amount (Award Ceiling) was $300,000, with no stated minimum (Award Floor: $0), and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding falls under CFDA 16.603, Corrections Technical Assistance/Clearinghouse, reinforcing that the funding was meant to strengthen correctional and justice system practice through technical assistance and knowledge support rather than to finance ongoing operational costs of local agencies.
Eligibility was broad and inclusive. NIC indicated that any public or private agency, educational institution, organization, individual, or team could apply as long as they had expertise in the areas described in the announcement. That framing suggests NIC was looking for demonstrated capability in evidence-based practices, criminal justice system decision-making, and managing multi-site or multi-stakeholder technical assistance efforts. The opportunity category was discretionary, and the activity category was listed as "Other," clarified as technical assistance connected to EBDM implementation in local criminal justice settings.
The posting date was July 6, 2012, with an application deadline of July 30, 2012, and the opportunity was archived on July 31, 2012. Applicants were directed to a full announcement hosted on NICs website for complete requirements and details. For access issues related to the announcement, NIC provided a point of contact: Pamela Davison, Administrative Assistant, at (202) 353-0484, with the note "Technical Assistance Only," indicating the contact support was intended primarily for accessing the materials rather than for broader program consultation.
