Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC), through its Jails Division, is soliciting applications for a three-year cooperative agreement focused on the National Sheriffs' Institute (NSI) training program. NSI is a seven-day leadership development program co-sponsored by NIC and the National Sheriffs' Association (NSA) and is aimed specifically at first-term sheriffs. The core purpose of this opportunity is to ensure the NSI curriculum remains current, effective, and well-aligned with the real leadership demands of the Office of Sheriff, including how sheriffs operate within their agencies, their local criminal justice systems, and their communities.
Under this award, the selected applicant would be responsible for reviewing the existing NSI curriculum, delivering the training program, evaluating its effectiveness, and revising or updating materials based on findings and NIC guidance. The work is meant to be done in close coordination with NIC staff, and NIC emphasizes that it will be substantively involved throughout the award period. That involvement is a key distinction: this is not a standard grant with minimal federal engagement, but a cooperative agreement where NIC plays an active role in shaping and overseeing project activities, deliverables, and alignment with the statement of work.
To be competitive, applicants must be able to demonstrate several specific qualifications. At minimum, NIC expects clear knowledge of the leadership role sheriffs play internally (organizational leadership and jail operations), externally (relationships with courts, law enforcement partners, and other justice stakeholders), and publicly (community leadership and accountability). Applicants also need strong expertise in contemporary leadership principles and how those principles translate into practical decision-making and organizational management for sheriffs. In addition, the applicant must be able to conduct training using adult learning principles, meaning the instruction should be designed for experienced professionals and emphasize practical application, interactive learning, and relevance to real-world leadership challenges. Finally, NIC is looking for demonstrated experience training first-term sheriffs specifically, not just general leadership training experience.
The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number 09J70, listed under CFDA 16.601 (Corrections Training and Staff Development), and categorized as a discretionary award supporting a training program review in a jail setting. NIC anticipated making one award, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is broad and includes state or local government entities, private agencies, educational institutions, organizations, individuals, or teams, as long as they can show they have the expertise and capacity to manage a project of this size and complexity. The original posting date was May 29, 2009, with an application closing date of June 19, 2009, and the opportunity was later archived on July 19, 2009.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, NIC provided a point of contact: Pamela Davison, Administrative Assistant, reachable by phone at 202-353-0484.
