Opportunity Information: Apply for 17JD07
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) offered a FY 2017 discretionary funding opportunity titled "Staffing Analysis Manual for Corrections and Technical Assistance" (Opportunity Number 17JD07) to strengthen how correctional agencies determine, justify, and manage staffing. The central purpose is capacity building: helping federal, state, local, and tribal correctional agencies develop the ability to independently analyze their staffing needs rather than relying indefinitely on outside consultants. In practical terms, the funded work is meant to support agencies in evaluating staffing requirements, running staffing calculations, building a formal staffing plan, producing a complete staffing report, and then tracking and evaluating whether the recommendations from that staffing analysis are actually implemented and working over time.
The award was structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means NIC expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as collaboration on deliverables, guidance on approach, and coordination around technical assistance activities. The program falls under CFDA 16.601 and was categorized under "Other" for the funding activity area. NIC anticipated making one award, with a maximum (ceiling) amount of $192,000, and the original application closing date was March 6, 2017 (with the opportunity created January 5, 2017). Given the single expected award and modest ceiling, the opportunity appears designed for a focused effort producing usable tools and hands-on support rather than a broad multi-site research program.
Eligibility was intentionally broad to attract operational and technical expertise. NIC invited applications from nonprofit organizations (including faith-based, community-based, and tribal organizations), for-profit organizations (including tribal for-profit organizations), and institutions of higher education (including tribal colleges and universities). A key condition is that recipients, including for-profit entities, must agree to waive any profit or fee for services, meaning the work must be performed at cost rather than as a profit-making engagement. NIC also welcomed partnership proposals involving two or more entities, but required that one eligible organization serve as the primary applicant, with any additional partners included as sub-recipients. The prime applicant would carry the main responsibility for administering the funds and managing the full scope of the program, including oversight of partners and completion of all required products and activities.
Overall, the opportunity is aimed at improving staffing decision-making in corrections by translating staffing analysis into a repeatable, agency-owned process. It emphasizes both the technical side (methods, calculations, plans, and reporting) and the practical side (implementation support and evaluation of whether recommended staffing changes are adopted and effective). This focus reflects NICs broader mission of improving correctional operations through training, technical assistance, and the development of practical guidance that agencies can apply independently.Apply for 17JD07
