WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 -- The U.S. Department of Justice's National Institute of Corrections announced that it expects to award a cooperative agreement for the coordination, facilitation and management of prison security audit partnership programs with measured remediation support.
The estimated total program funding available was cited as $77,500.
The funding is open to nonprofit organizations including faith-based, community, and tribal organizations; for-profit; and institutions of higher education.
The agency description of the grant states: "The past few decades have been characterized byrapid growth in prison construction and an accelerated evolution in prison and jail design. Perimeter barriers, locking systems, video and communication technology, and alert systems have all significantly improved. These improvements have resulted in more efficient, effective operations and enhanced safety of staff, inmates, and the community.
Good sightlines integrated with sound security hardware and reliable technology have become the hallmarks of efficient, safe, secure, and humane correctional housing. Such enhancements balance cost-effectiveness, ease of maintenance, efficient use of staff resources, and significant improvements over past prison designs."
The funding opportunity number is 19PR01 (CFDA 16.601). It was posted on Dec. 12 with an application closing date of Feb. 11, 2019.

The agency description of the grant states: "An organization that applies to the Challenge America category, may not submit another application to the Art Works category. You may apply to other National Endowment for the Arts funding opportunities, including Our Town, in addition to Challenge America. In each case, the request must be for a distinctly different project or a distinctly different phase of the same project, with a different period of performance and costs.
The Arts Endowment's support of a project may start on or after January 1, 2020. Grants awarded under these guidelines generally may cover a period of performance of up to two years. An organization that has received Challenge America grants in FY 2017, 2018, and 2019 may not apply for a Challenge America grant under these FY 2020 guidelines. That organization may apply for FY 2020 support under other National Endowment for the Arts funding opportunities including Art Works.
The Challenge America category offers support primarily to small and mid-sized organizations for projects that extend the reach of the arts to underserved populations- those whose opportunities to experience the arts are limited by geography, ethnicity, economics, or disability. Age alone (e.g., youth, seniors) does not qualify a group as underserved; at least one of the underserved characteristics noted above also must be present. Proposals should detail the efforts made to reach the identified underserved population."
