Opportunity Information: Apply for 24JD11
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) is offering a cooperative agreement called "Correctional Case Management for Jails Training" (Funding Opportunity Number 24JD11, CFDA 16.601). The goal is to support training and technical assistance that helps jails organize and manage incarcerated individuals' social and behavioral information in a consistent, standardized way. NIC is responding to a common operational gap in jails: while most facilities maintain court/legal files and separate medical and mental health files, they often lack a single, structured case management record that captures a person’s day-to-day institutional behavior and progress over time. Instead, important information is frequently scattered across classification, housing, disciplinary, grievance, program, and security files, which makes it harder for staff to see the full picture and respond consistently.
At the center of this opportunity is the idea of correctional case management as an alternative to fragmented recordkeeping. NIC describes a case management file (sometimes called a classification or program file) as a "social file" that tells the story of a person’s stay in jail. The purpose is to give correctional staff shared tools and a shared approach, including standard language, consistent file structure, common agency forms, clear documentation expectations, and reliable file maintenance practices. With those pieces in place, staff are better positioned to intervene appropriately, track patterns, and make decisions that are informed by a coherent timeline rather than disconnected notes and separate departmental records.
The training focus aligns with the key stages and experiences that typically occur after admission to a jail. NIC highlights that intake usually includes security and property checks, booking, a medical interview, orientation, and classification decisions such as security rating and housing assignment. Beyond those basics, each jail may have additional processes depending on staffing, facility design, and available programming. Within that broader landscape, this initiative concentrates specifically on orientation, classification, and institutional behaviors, emphasizing how those elements should be documented and managed in an organized case management framework.
Eligible applicants include 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). However, any recipient, including for-profit entities, must agree to waive profit or fees for services, meaning the award is intended to cover allowable costs rather than generate revenue. Foreign governments, international organizations, and non-governmental international organizations or institutions are not eligible. Applicants also need to provide proof of nonprofit status through IRS 501(c)(3) documentation or, for tribal entities, an authorizing tribal resolution.
NIC allows collaborative applications that involve multiple entities, but the structure must be clear: one eligible organization must apply as the lead applicant, and any partners must be included as subrecipients. The lead applicant is expected to take primary responsibility for administering the funds and managing the full program, including performance and compliance obligations. NIC also specifies a limit of one application per submitting organization, so organizations need to consolidate their approach into a single submission rather than submitting multiple competing proposals.
Funding is capped at an award ceiling of $90,000, and NIC expects to make one award. The opportunity was posted on December 13, 2023, with an original closing date of February 12, 2024. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NIC anticipates substantial involvement in the project’s direction, coordination, or deliverables compared with a standard grant.Apply for 24JD11
