Opportunity Summary:

The Norval Morris Project Implementation Phase (Funding Opportunity Number 10PEI38) is a National Institute of Corrections (NIC) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement to support an 18-month implementation effort beginning in September 2010. The core purpose is to move beyond prior development work and put into practice, in real correctional settings, the research-based concepts and strategies produced through NIC's Norval Morris Project over the previous four years. Rather than funding new theory-building, this opportunity is centered on accelerating the real-world adoption of proven innovations in corrections by testing them in operational environments and learning what it takes to implement them effectively.

Under this award, the selected recipient is expected to help NIC select two implementation sites (two agencies) and then assist those agencies in planning and executing the implementation of the project models and strategies. The effort focuses on two connected correctional management challenges: population management (how agencies manage and forecast inmate/offender populations, capacity, and related operational pressures) and workforce alignment (how staffing structures, deployment, roles, and workforce practices are aligned with agency missions, workload demands, and population realities). In practice, this implies hands-on implementation support, structured planning, and practical guidance aimed at aligning evidence-informed approaches with day-to-day correctional operations.

The opportunity anticipates a single award, with an award ceiling of $180,000 and no required cost sharing or matching. Eligible applicants are broadly defined and include public or private agencies, educational institutions, organizations, individuals, or teams, as long as they can demonstrate expertise relevant to the project goals and the described technical areas. The funding is associated with CFDA 16.602 (Corrections Research and Evaluation and Policy Formulation) and is categorized under "Research Based Innovations in Corrections," emphasizing that the work is meant to translate research into practice through structured implementation and testing.

Key dates for the solicitation were a posted date of July 8, 2010, with an application closing date of July 30, 2010, and an archive date of August 29, 2010. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Pamela Davison, Administrative Assistant, at 202-353-0484.
