Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) offered a discretionary funding opportunity called "Transition From Jails" (Funding Opportunity Number 14CS14) to support the creation of a professional training and outreach video for its Transition From Jails To Community (TJC) Initiative. The award was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning NIC expected to be actively involved in planning and guiding the work rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final product. The project period was 12 months and was required to start no later than September 15, 2014. Only one award was anticipated, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and no required cost sharing or matching.
The central purpose of the project was to produce a 45 to 60 minute, high end, broadcast quality DVD focused on how to implement NICs TJC Initiative. The intended audience was correctional staff and community stakeholders involved in jail reentry and transition planning. Content was expected to align closely with the TJC Model and to clearly illustrate the nine modules contained in the online TJC Toolkit. To do this, the video was expected to combine narration, interviews, graphics, and on location footage, including material gathered from TJC learning sites where the initiative had been put into practice.
NIC laid out several major deliverables tied to both production and coordination. The main deliverable was an edited, segmented, broadcast ready DVD running 45 to 60 minutes. In addition, the selected applicant would provide pre recorded video clips that could be used to strengthen the instructional value of the DVD, including footage and testimonies from at least two TJC learning sites. Planning materials were also required, including a production storyboard and or scripts, along with documentation of collaboration such as notes from all production planning sessions with NIC staff and subject matter experts. This explicitly included participation in a two and one half day production planning session, plus additional phone and web based conferences leading up to filming and final production.
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 areas described, particularly professional video production and the ability to translate complex implementation guidance into an effective instructional format for the corrections field. The funding was associated with CFDA 16.601 (Corrections Training and Staff Development), reflecting that the final product was intended to function as a training and capacity building resource for practitioners.
Key administrative details included a posted date of July 7, 2014, with an application closing date of July 30, 2014, and an archive date of August 29, 2014. The opportunity pointed applicants to the NIC website for additional information and listed an agency contact for access issues: Melanie Simms, Administrative Officer, at 202 353 0484.
