Opportunity Information: Apply for 18AC01
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC), within the U.S. Department of Justice, offered a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 18AC01) to support the production of live internet broadcasts, taped video productions, and related training services totaling up to 54 hours. The core purpose is to help NIC deliver training and educational content remotely, with presenters or facilitators located in one place and participants joining from other locations through online technology. This format is used to reach a wide corrections and criminal justice audience in a cost-effective way, including federal, state, tribal, and local agencies, along with partner organizations and other stakeholders who work with or have an interest in offender populations.
The opportunity emphasizes how NIC expects end users to consume the content in real-world settings. Most participants will join individually through standard devices such as laptops, tablets, mobile phones, or desktop computers, often from their offices or other remote locations. At the same time, NIC anticipates group participation as well, where a facility or training site projects the broadcast onto a larger screen in a classroom or training room environment. In practical terms, this means the supported work needs to function well for both single-user viewing and group viewing, and it needs to be accessible across common platforms and devices.
A major focus of the grant is NICs expansion into micro video learning, using "live-to-tape" productions for both information dissemination and skills-focused training. Instead of relying only on longer training events, NIC is seeking short, tightly focused video segments that can be consumed in manageable chunks. These micro-learning videos may be as brief as 5, 10, 15, 20, or 30 minutes, or extend up to about an hour depending on the specific performance outcome being targeted. NIC frames this approach as aligned with the science of learning, meaning content should be intentionally chunked and designed to help learners translate knowledge into on-the-job practice. Another key theme is just-in-time access: the videos should be easy for practitioners to find and use at the moment they need the information, rather than only during scheduled training sessions.
From an administrative standpoint, the award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, indicating NIC anticipated an active partnership role rather than a hands-off grant. The listing shows an expected single award, with the opportunity originally posted on December 20, 2017 and closing on February 20, 2018. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically signals that a fixed maximum was not specified in the public summary and that applicants would need to rely on the full solicitation details for budget expectations or constraints. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others" with clarification referenced in the full eligibility text, suggesting that NIC was open to certain types of organizations beyond the standard categories, but that applicants needed to confirm their fit against the detailed requirements in the full announcement.
Overall, the grant is centered on building NICs capacity to deliver modern, technology-enabled training to corrections professionals and partners, combining live interactive broadcast events with shorter taped segments designed for rapid, practical learning and wide distribution.Apply for 18AC01
