Opportunity Information: Apply for 20CS16
The Advancing Community Supervision Strategies Microsite Development opportunity (Funding Opportunity No. 20CS16) is a Department of Justice initiative through the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) focused on building and expanding a dedicated microsite that serves as a central hub for community supervision agencies. The main idea is to create a practical, easy-to-navigate "one-stop shop" where probation, parole, and other community corrections practitioners can find up-to-date information on how technology is being used in the field, along with supporting resources and guidance tied to evidence-based practices.
NIC highlights that community corrections has made meaningful progress over the years in using technology to improve supervision work and client outcomes, but that knowledge has largely been shared informally. Agencies have been trading lessons learned and tools through word of mouth, peer networks, or scattered documents, without a consistent, formal place to collect, preserve, and showcase what is working. This grant is meant to address that gap by creating a more structured repository that captures real-world experiences and makes them accessible to the broader field, so agencies do not have to reinvent solutions or rely on fragmented information when making technology and practice decisions.
The microsite is not limited to technology alone. NIC emphasizes that community supervision agencies also need support in related areas that directly affect implementation and success, especially human-resource and workforce topics. That includes technical skill development for staff, staff support needs, and other operational capabilities that help agencies adopt and sustain effective practices. The content focus is intended to be grounded in the most recent research and evaluation findings, reflecting the reality that supervision agencies are expected to rely on evidence-based approaches and need resources that are credible, current, and practical.
In terms of structure, this is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically signals closer collaboration with NIC during the project. The award ceiling is $60,000, with NIC expecting to make a single award. The opportunity was posted May 22, 2020, and originally closed July 21, 2020. It is listed under CFDA 16.602, and eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with further details referenced in the original eligibility clarification field.
Overall, the opportunity is about strengthening the infrastructure for knowledge-sharing in community supervision by developing a centralized microsite that organizes both proven and emerging practices. The intended end product is a curated, accessible resource that helps agencies quickly find guidance on tools, strategies, and staff-support considerations that have research backing and real-world relevance, ultimately supporting better outcomes for people under community supervision and better decision-making for the agencies responsible for supervising them.Apply for 20CS16
