Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number 10P07) to support the development and field testing of a new training curriculum focused on workforce performance in corrections through a systems-based management approach. The project centers on creating a 36-hour curriculum designed to train multidisciplinary staff working in state correctional agencies and prison systems, with an emphasis on how agency management and daily operations function best when treated as a connected, collaborative system involving multiple stakeholders rather than isolated units working independently.
The cooperative agreement is structured as a 12-month effort with clear deliverables and deadlines. The selected awardee is expected to design the curriculum and then conduct two pilot trainings at sites chosen by NIC, ideally completing both pilots by September 30, 2010. After incorporating lessons learned from the pilots and making revisions, the final curriculum package must be delivered to NIC no later than December 31, 2010. In practical terms, the award supports not just writing course content, but also testing it in real-world settings and refining it based on participant feedback and outcomes.
Content-wise, NIC is looking for a modern, updated curriculum that helps management teams operate effectively in a challenging environment where budgets are lean and expectations remain high. The training is meant to cover contemporary elements of managing agencies and institutions so they can meet statutory mandates and mission requirements. A major theme is organizational change: participants should leave with an understanding of how to lead and manage change efforts in corrections settings. Another key focus is building a culture of collaboration, reinforcing the idea that sustainable performance depends on coordination across disciplines and roles, and on aligning people, processes, and priorities across the organization.
The ultimate purpose of the curriculum is operational and outcomes-driven. NIC wants management teams to gain practical tools they can use to demonstrate efficient and effective operations while maintaining safety and security for staff, incarcerated individuals, and the public. The curriculum is intended to strengthen decision-making and operational coordination so agencies can better deliver on public safety responsibilities even under financial constraints.
This opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) and does not require cost sharing or matching funds. Eligibility is broad: any private agency, educational institution, organization, individual, or team may apply as long as they can demonstrate expertise relevant to systems-oriented corrections management, training design, curriculum development, and the related subject matter described in the announcement. The funding is listed under CFDA 16.601 (Corrections Training and Staff Development). The announcement was posted November 2, 2009, with an application closing date of November 30, 2009, and an archive date of December 30, 2009. Award floor and ceiling amounts are listed as 0, which typically signals that applicants should rely on the full announcement for budget expectations and that NIC may be setting funding levels through negotiation under the cooperative agreement framework.
For access issues or questions tied to the full announcement, the listed contact is Pamela Davison, Administrative Assistant, at (202) 353-0484.
