Opportunity Summary:
The Transition from Prison to Community (TPC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 09K112) is a National Institute of Corrections (NIC) cooperative agreement focused on improving how people leaving prison successfully reintegrate into their communities. It builds on NIC's long-running TPC initiative, which began in 2001 in response to growing national attention on reentry outcomes, public safety, and reducing recidivism. The core purpose is to promote a comprehensive, strategic approach to reentry that reflects evidence-based practices, stresses strong collaboration among corrections agencies and their government and community partners, and produces practical tools that jurisdictions can use to plan, implement, and sustain transition reforms.
NIC previously developed the TPC model and provided extensive implementation assistance to an initial group of eight states. Lessons from that first phase were documented in the TPC Reentry Handbook, which serves as a record of what was tried, what worked, and what was learned. This funding opportunity is designed as the next phase: it supports delivering hands-on technical assistance to a new cohort of about six states. At the same time, the selected provider will work alongside NIC to continue refining and advancing the TPC model and to develop additional products and resources that can help other jurisdictions that are not part of the cohort but still want to adopt or adapt TPC practices.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning NIC expects to be actively involved with the recipient rather than simply issuing funds with minimal engagement. The funding activity is categorized as transition research and implementation, emphasizing real-world application and system change rather than purely academic study. NIC anticipates making one award under this announcement, with an award ceiling of $400,000 and no required cost share or matching funds. The award floor is listed as $0, which typically indicates flexibility in the final award amount depending on the proposal scope and available funds.
Eligibility is broad and is not limited to state agencies. Applicants may include public or private agencies, educational institutions, organizations, individuals, or teams, as long as they can demonstrate expertise relevant to the work described, particularly in corrections reentry, evidence-based transition practices, interagency collaboration, and implementation support. The opportunity was posted on January 22, 2009, with an application closing date of March 9, 2009 (and an archive date of April 8, 2009). The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 16.603 (Corrections Technical Assistance/Clearinghouse), signaling that the primary deliverable is technical assistance capacity and practical implementation support for corrections systems.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Rita Rippetoe, Executive Assistant at NIC, reachable by phone at 202-514-4222.
