Opportunity Information: Apply for 18JD01
The Department of Justice, National Institute of Corrections (NIC), is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement called "Jail Administration Training and Technical Assistance" (Funding Opportunity Number 18JD01, CFDA 16.601). The purpose of this opportunity is to strengthen the day-to-day leadership and oversight capacity of jail administrators so they can run facilities in a way that is safe, secure, humane, and legally compliant. The program is built around the idea that jail administrators have to manage many moving parts at once, and that strong administration depends on having practical tools, current guidance, and a structured approach to planning and operations.
At the center of the effort is NIC's Jail Administration curriculum, which is organized into modules that address core administrative responsibilities. These modules cover topics such as action planning using jail standards, risk management, developing and updating policies and procedures, determining staffing requirements, workforce management, managing inmate behavior, developing fire/safety/sanitation plans, and assessing overall jail operations. In other words, the training is meant to be applied and operational, not just conceptual, giving administrators frameworks they can take back to their facilities to improve decision-making, compliance, and performance.
A major objective of the grant is also tied to Objective Jail Classification, which is the structured process of identifying each incoming inmate's risks and needs and then making appropriate housing assignments. NIC highlights two professionally validated classification approaches that it sponsors and makes available to practitioners at no cost: the point additive model and the decision tree model. The existing Objective Jail Classification curriculum is based on these models, and NIC is seeking an applicant who can refresh the course so it reflects current practice, remains usable in the field, and continues to align with validated classification methods.
NIC expects to make one award, with an anticipated funding ceiling of $150,000. The selected applicant will be responsible for revising and updating the Objective Jail Classification class, administering the delivery of four Jail Administration training programs, and providing up to ten technical assistance engagements to jails that request support. The technical assistance component suggests hands-on help beyond the classroom, such as assisting facilities with implementation challenges, adapting tools to local operations, or addressing gaps identified through assessments, while staying consistent with recognized standards and the intent of objective classification.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have appeared in the full solicitation. The opportunity was posted on February 9, 2018, with an original closing date of April 10, 2018, and it is administered by NIC within DOJ. Overall, the grant is designed to keep NIC's jail administration training current and deliverable while extending practical support to local jails that need help improving administrative systems and classification practices.Apply for 18JD01
