Opportunity Information: Apply for 18PR09
The Department of Justice, through the National Institute of Corrections (NIC), issued a continuation funding notice titled "Networking and Professional Development of State and Large Urban System Healthcare Administrators" (Funding Opportunity Number 18PR09, CFDA 16.601). The purpose of the project is to support the implementation of a series of networking and professional development programs specifically designed for healthcare administrators working in state and large urban correctional systems. In practical terms, the project is aimed at strengthening professional connections among these administrators and improving their leadership, management, and operational capabilities in the correctional healthcare environment, where issues like clinical quality, continuity of care, staffing, compliance, and coordination with custody operations can be especially complex.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NIC expects to have substantial involvement in guiding or collaborating on the funded activities rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The notice is categorized as a continuation, signaling it is intended to extend or continue work already underway rather than launch a brand-new, openly competed program. NIC states explicitly that this announcement is not a request for applications; instead, it serves as a public notice of NICs intent to fund the described activities without full and open competition. That language typically means the agency has an identified recipient or a justified sole-source or limited-competition pathway, and the posting is primarily for transparency rather than to solicit proposals from the general public.
The maximum award amount listed is $165,000, and NIC anticipates making one award. The posting date (creation date) is September 7, 2018, with an original closing date of September 14, 2018, reflecting a short public notice window consistent with announcements that are not open solicitations. Eligibility is labeled broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility clarification referenced in the original notice, but given the non-competitive nature and continuation status, the practical reality is that this funding is not being opened to new applicants through a standard competitive process.
Overall, the grant notice communicates NICs intent to continue supporting structured networking and professional development programming for correctional healthcare administrators at the state and large urban system level, using a cooperative agreement mechanism, with a single expected award capped at $165,000, and without requesting or accepting general applications as part of an open competition.Apply for 18PR09
