Opportunity Information: Apply for 20AC02
The Thinking for a Change Video Project (Funding Opportunity Number 20AC02) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Justice through the National Institute of Corrections (NIC). The opportunity centers on supporting NICs Thinking for a Change (T4C) 4.0 curriculum, an evidence-informed cognitive behavioral change program developed under an NIC cooperative agreement by Jack Bush, Ph.D., Barry Glick, Ph.D., and Juliana Taymans, Ph.D. T4C draws from cognitive restructuring theory, social skills development, learning principles, and structured problem-solving approaches, and it is built as an integrated sequence of lessons rather than a set of stand-alone modules.
T4C is designed for justice-involved populations, including both adults and youth, and it is intended to serve males and females in small groups. The typical group size is eight to twelve participants, and the curriculum is meant to be delivered by trained facilitators only. The program is structured as a closed group model, meaning participants are expected to begin together at the start of a cycle and generally should not join after the curriculum is underway (with lesson five noted as a practical cutoff point for adding new members). The curriculum contains 25 lessons that build on one another, and because not every lesson fits neatly into a single meeting, a normal delivery cycle often runs about 30 sessions. Sessions are expected to run one to two hours, with an ideal schedule of two meetings per week, while recognizing a minimum dosage of once weekly and a maximum of three times per week. Participants must also be given time between sessions to complete required homework, which is presented as a mandatory part of the learning process and skill practice.
The specific purpose of this funding is production-focused: NIC plans to fund the creation of seventeen (17) stand-alone video vignettes to support the content of the T4C 4.0 program curriculum and the T4C Facilitator Training curriculum. These videos are meant to function as training and instructional supports aligned to the curriculum, rather than as a single continuous film, and at least one of the deliverables may be as long as 30 minutes, with the rest presumably shorter vignettes. The project is framed as a single award with an expected total of one recipient, indicating NIC is looking for one lead entity to develop the complete set of video products under a cooperative agreement arrangement, which typically implies ongoing coordination and substantial involvement by the federal agency during development.
Key administrative details include an award ceiling of $150,000 and an expectation of one award. The opportunity was posted with a creation date of February 21, 2020, and an original closing date of April 21, 2020. The CFDA number listed is 16.601. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the official eligibility parameters referenced in an additional information field (not included in the text provided), which usually means applicants should consult the full solicitation for the precise eligible organization types and any restrictions.Apply for 20AC02
