Opportunity Information: Apply for 20JD08
The Direct Supervision and Critical Responsivity opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 20JD08) is a National Institute of Corrections (NIC), U.S. Department of Justice notice explaining an intent to provide continued federal support under an existing project rather than opening a new competitive grant. It is specifically labeled as not a request for applications, meaning NIC is not soliciting proposals from the public and organizations should not expect a standard application process or competition associated with this posting. Instead, the notice functions more like an administrative announcement that NIC plans to issue continuation funding connected to a prior award identified as 17JD04GKW9.
The funding mechanism for the action is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more hands-on federal role than a standard grant. In a cooperative agreement, the agency commonly expects to collaborate with the recipient on key aspects of the work, such as refining deliverables, coordinating activities, providing technical direction, or participating in planning and evaluation. The opportunity is categorized under "Other" for both opportunity category and funding activity, suggesting it does not fit neatly into a typical program bucket and that the specific program context is described elsewhere in the full posting (often in an "Explanation of Other" field).
From a funding perspective, the notice lists an award ceiling of $185,000 and anticipates a single award, reinforcing that the intent is to continue support for one ongoing project rather than fund multiple new initiatives. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 16.601, which corresponds to NIC assistance listings. The posting date (creation date) is June 3, 2020, with an original closing date of June 30, 2020; however, because this is not an open solicitation, the closing date is best understood as an administrative deadline tied to the agency posting cycle rather than a true application deadline for outside applicants.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others" with a note to see additional eligibility information for clarification. In practice, for continuation notices like this, eligibility is usually effectively limited to the current recipient of the underlying award being continued (here, the recipient associated with 17JD04GKW9), even if the generic eligibility field looks broad. The central takeaway is that this is a continuation funding announcement by NIC for an existing direct supervision and critical responsivity effort, using a cooperative agreement structure, up to $185,000, with one expected award, and it is not open for new applications.Apply for 20JD08
