The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to create and provide state and local criminal justice policy teams or pretrial services agencies with an implementation toolkit using A Framework for Pretrial Justice: Essential Elements of a Pretrial System and Agency Implementation. Some pretrial essential elements may need revisions based on changes in case law, state statutes, research evidence, standards, and organizational theory/implementation science. This new toolkit will be called “Essential Elements of a Pretrial System and Agency Toolkit.”

The foundation for the development of the Essential Elements of a Pretrial System and Agency Toolkit shall be based on four elements: (1) the law, (2) pretrial standards adopted by the ABA and NAPSA, (3) pretrial system/services research and LEBP, and (4) organizational theory/implementation science.

NIC supports the use of policy teams or other collaborative criminal justice teams to achieve meaningful and sustained pretrial system and agency improvements. The awardee is encouraged to leverage NIC’s Evidence-Based Decision Making (EBDM) and Criminal Justice Coordinating Council resources with the development of the Essential Elements of a Pretrial System and Agency Toolkit.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications from institutions/organizations that propose to establish core centers that are part of an integrated and existing program of nutrition and/or obesity research. The Nutrition Obesity Research Centers (NORC) program is designed to support and enhance the national research effort in nutrition and obesity. NORCs support three primary research-related activities: Research Core services, a Pilot and Feasibility (P and F) program, and an Enrichment program. All activities pursued by Nutrition Obesity Research Centers are designed to enhance the efficiency, productivity, effectiveness, and multidisciplinary nature of research in nutrition and obesity.

This NOFO requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP), which will be assessed as part of the scientific and technical peer review evaluation. Applications that fail to include a PEDP will be considered incomplete and will be withdrawn. Applicants are strongly encouraged to read the NOFO instructions carefully and view the available PEDP guidance material.

Eligibility Requirements

Because a NORC has a large and complex administrative structure, the PD/PI(s) must have strong leadership abilities and demonstrated proficiency in managing large, multi-component programs. The NORC PD(s)/PI(s) must also be willing to participate in annual meetings of the NORC Program. 

Only institutions at which there is an ongoing, strong base of nutrition and/or obesity-related research are eligible. For new applications, at least 50% of the nutritional sciences and obesity or other related research comprising the research base must be supported with funds from Federal Agencies. In renewal applications, the NIH-supported research base may be less than 50% due, typically, to a growing number of investigators entering nutrition and/or obesity research from other fields. Each proposed core must be utilized by a minimum of two federally-funded investigators.

Application budgets are limited to $750,000 direct costs per year but need to reflect actual needs of the proposed Center. This budget limit is exclusive of F&A costs for consortium and subcontract arrangements. It is anticipated that the award budget will be directly correlated to the breadth, quality, and relevance to nutrition/obesity and related areas of the research base being served by the Center. Within the direct cost cap, up to $150,000 per year may be requested for the Pilot and Feasibility program.
