Opportunity Summary:
The Curricula Revision, Conversion, and Development for NIC Academy opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 16AC04) is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Prisons, National Institute of Corrections (USDOJ-BOP-NIC). It was posted on March 11, 2016, and applications were due by May 11, 2016. The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the selected applicant should expect substantial involvement and collaboration with NIC during the life of the project rather than working entirely independently.
The purpose of this FY 2016 Learning and Performance Initiative award is to update and strengthen NIC Academy instructional products by revising, converting, and/or developing training materials for three existing NIC Academy courses. In practical terms, this centers on improving course content and delivery tools so they are current, instructionally sound, and ready for use by the Academy Division in its national training mission. The targeted subject areas reflect core capability needs across corrections: learning and performance (how agencies train, support, and evaluate workforce performance), leadership development (building effective leadership capacity within correctional organizations), and behavioral programming for justice-involved individuals (designing and delivering interventions and programs that address behavior and support successful outcomes).
Funding is capped at an award ceiling of $240,000, and NIC anticipated making one award. The activity category is listed as “Other,†indicating the work is specialized and focused on curriculum and instructional product development rather than a more common category such as research or construction. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 16.601, which corresponds to National Institute of Corrections programs.
Eligibility is described broadly as “Others,†with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement (not included in the excerpt). As a result, the opportunity is best understood as being open to qualified entities capable of producing high-quality instructional design deliverables for correctional training environments, and able to work closely with NIC under a cooperative agreement model.
Overall, the grant is designed to help NIC modernize and enhance three established training courses that support the field of corrections. The end product of the funded work is not simply a report or concept paper, but tangible instructional materials that can be deployed by the NIC Academy to build professional competency and organizational capacity nationwide in training/performance improvement, leadership, and evidence-informed behavioral programming.
