Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Video Production" (Funding Opportunity Number 13JD05), was issued by the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement. NIC sought to fund one project over a 12-month period, with work expected to begin no later than September 15, 2013. The core purpose of the project was to create a polished, high-end, broadcast-quality DVD running approximately 20 to 25 minutes that would introduce the concept and practice of podular direct supervision to a broad, varied audience.
The deliverable envisioned by NIC was an instructional and explanatory video that shows what direct supervision looks like in practice and why it matters in jail operations. The DVD was expected to communicate through multiple production elements, including narration, on-camera interviews, graphics, and video footage filmed inside jails. In other words, the emphasis was not simply on producing a basic informational video, but on developing a professionally produced piece that combines storytelling, visuals, and expert perspectives to clearly illustrate direct supervision in a real-world corrections environment.
Because the funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, the project was framed as a collaborative venture rather than a hands-off contract. NIC specifically noted that the work would be conducted in partnership with the NIC Jails Division, indicating that the awardee would likely coordinate closely with NIC staff on content direction, access, messaging priorities, and review of deliverables throughout the production process.
Eligibility was broad and included essentially any qualified public or private entity or individual, as long as the applicant had relevant expertise. Eligible applicants included public or private agencies, educational institutions, organizations, individuals, or teams with the skills needed to carry out the described video production work, particularly work involving jail-based filming, interviews, and the creation of professional-grade visual and graphic content. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds.
Key administrative details include a posting date of July 3, 2013, with an application deadline (closing date) of July 25, 2013, and an archive date of August 24, 2013. Only one award was expected. The associated CFDA program number was 16.603, listed as "Corrections Technical Assistance/Clearinghouse." The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $0 in the source data, which typically signals that the specific funding amount was not stated in that field and would need to be confirmed in the full announcement or related budget guidance.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement, NIC provided a point of contact: Melanie Simms, Administrative Officer, at 202-353-0484.
