Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC), through its Transition and Offender Workforce Development (T/OWD) and Academy Divisions, offered a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 10A30) to develop a new training curriculum specifically for Correctional Industries Directors. The core purpose was to create a competency-based curriculum delivered through a blended modality approach, meaning it would combine multiple delivery methods (commonly a mix of in-person and distance/online components) to reach and train practitioners effectively. The training is intended to strengthen directors ability to lead and modernize correctional industries operations in ways that support successful offender reentry and sustained workforce participation.
The curriculum to be developed was expected to build practical, job-relevant knowledge, skills, and abilities. NIC emphasized leadership and strategic management competencies: helping directors set clear organizational priorities, define strategic objectives, and translate those into measurable goals. Another major focus was collaboration and external alignment, including establishing partnerships with workforce and community stakeholders and using current labor market information so correctional industries programming reflects real employment demand. In addition, the curriculum was meant to address how directors can design or oversee specialized services and programming that promote offenders long-term attachment to the labor force, rather than short-term job placement alone.
Administratively, this was a single-award opportunity (Expected Awards: 1) under CFDA 16.601 (Corrections Training and Staff Development). The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates NIC anticipated substantial involvement in shaping the work, providing input, and coordinating during development rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal interaction. No cost sharing or matching was required. The notice listed Award Ceiling and Award Floor as 0, which generally signals that applicants needed to consult the full announcement for actual budget expectations or that amounts were to be negotiated based on the proposed scope.
Eligibility was broad and flexible. NIC indicated that any public or private agency, educational institution, organization, individual, or team could apply as long as they had expertise relevant to the work described. The opportunity was posted January 12, 2010, created February 12, 2010, and originally closed February 12, 2010, with the deadline extended one week to February 19, 2010 due to technical issues. The opportunity was archived March 14, 2010. For access issues with the full announcement, NIC listed a point of contact: Pamela Davison, Administrative Assistant, at (202) 353-0484.
