Correctional Case Management for Jails

The Correctional Case Management for Jails opportunity is administered by the National Institute of Corrections, which operates under the U.S. Department of Justice. The Institute is responsible for advancing correctional practices through training, technical assistance, and information services aimed at improving outcomes across the corrections system. This particular notice is tied to the continuation of an existing cooperative agreement, reflecting the agency’s ongoing commitment to strengthening correctional case management practices within jail settings across the United States. The primary purpose of this funding is to support the delivery of six regional training programs focused on correctional case management for jails. These programs are designed to enhance the skills and knowledge of correctional staff responsible for managing incarcerated individuals, with an emphasis on improving case planning, coordination, and reentry outcomes. The scope of the work is limited to training delivery, indicating that funds are intended to support program facilitation, curriculum implementation, and associated logistical costs required to execute these regional sessions. Funding for this opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the awarding agency is expected to maintain substantial involvement throughout the performance period. The total estimated funding for the program is 180000 dollars, with a single award anticipated at that full amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement associated with this opportunity, which reduces financial barriers for the recipient organization. However, as a continuation award notice, the funding is not being opened for competitive applications and is instead allocated to an existing award recipient. Eligibility for this opportunity is restricted and does not follow a standard open application process. The notice explicitly states that it is not a request for applications, but rather a public announcement of the continuation of Cooperative Agreement award 24JD11GLS1. As such, eligibility is effectively limited to the current awardee under that agreement, and no additional organizations are invited to apply. This makes the opportunity distinct from typical competitive grant programs listed on Grants.gov. There are no application submission requirements, deadlines for proposals, or evaluation criteria provided, as the opportunity is not accepting new applications. The listed closing date of May 4, 2026 reflects administrative recordkeeping rather than an actionable deadline for applicants. Similarly, there are no required application components, narratives, or supporting documents to prepare. The cooperative agreement continuation implies that performance expectations and reporting requirements are governed by the original award terms. For additional information or technical assistance related to accessing the announcement, the National Institute of Corrections provides a point of contact. Cameron D Coblentz, a Grant Management Specialist, is listed with a phone number for inquiries. No email address is provided. The timeline for this opportunity is limited to its posting and administrative closure dates, with no future cycles or recurring application opportunities indicated. As a result, this notice serves primarily as a transparency mechanism rather than a funding opportunity for new applicants.
