Opportunity Information: Apply for 23CS08
The Parole Board Training Resource Development and Delivery opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 23CS08) is a National Institute of Corrections (NIC), U.S. Department of Justice cooperative agreement focused on strengthening how parole boards are trained, particularly in a virtual environment. The underlying need is tied to the scale and importance of parole decision-making: an estimated 800,000 people return to the community each year after incarceration, and parole supervision has grown in many states as prison populations have increased. Since parole boards play a direct public safety role by influencing who is released and under what conditions, NIC emphasizes that paroling authorities need strong, research-informed competencies to make sound decisions, support successful reentry, and reduce recidivism while maintaining community safety.
NIC positions this project around its unique role in the field. It states that it is the only agency providing free parole board training to state paroling authorities and notes that, in 2010, it developed the only dedicated training for parole board members in the United States. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, NIC revised its parole board member and parole board chair curricula in 2020 so they could be delivered virtually. The trainings are designed not only to teach technical and procedural content, but also to push participants to examine their own beliefs and how those beliefs can shape parole decision-making. Across both the member and chair versions, NIC highlights core outcomes the training is intended to support: making informed release decisions, building organizational infrastructure and capacity within parole agencies, and clarifying the distinct responsibilities of serving as a paroling authority member.
A major driver for this grant is a gap that emerged after the first delivery of the virtual member training. NIC’s virtual parole board member training includes pre-assignments, live virtual sessions, and homework assignments, and the first virtual sessions were delivered in summer 2021. Post-training assessments suggested participants valued the training, but the virtual version did not include enough supportive materials. In particular, several resources that had been used in the face-to-face format were not incorporated into the virtual sessions, leaving a need for better tools, handouts, exercises, and other aids that help participants apply the content during and after online delivery. In addition, NIC reports that the parole board chair virtual training had not yet been delivered at the time of the posting, even though the conversion to a virtual format was completed in 2022. Because NIC revises the parole board curriculum every three years to keep it current with research and field practice, the agency is seeking support to add and update materials so the virtual trainings remain relevant and responsive to parole boards’ evolving needs.
Administratively, this is a single-award opportunity with an expected award count of 1 and a funding ceiling of $85,000. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically means NIC expects active involvement in guiding or collaborating on the work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 16.601 and falls into an “Other” activity category as described in the solicitation. Eligibility is broadly described as “Others” with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement. The opportunity was created March 14, 2023, with an original closing date of May 15, 2023. Overall, the project goal is straightforward: develop and deliver updated, practical training resources that make NIC’s virtual parole board member and chair trainings more effective, better supported, and aligned with current evidence-based practices that improve decision-making and public safety outcomes.Apply for 23CS08
