Opportunity Summary:

The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement to modernize and relaunch its executive leadership training for women working in corrections. The project runs for 18 months and focuses on updating NICs existing 36-hour "Executive Leadership for Women in Corrections" course, which will be retitled Strategic Development of the Executive Woman. The core goal is to refresh the training content and structure so it better reflects how executive women learn, the leadership styles they use, and the competencies they need to succeed in high-level corrections roles.

Under this award, the selected recipient is expected to take the lead on revising the full curriculum using NICs Instructional Theory into Practice (ITIP) format, which emphasizes practical, application-focused training design. The recipient will also be responsible for putting the updated program into operation by contracting and preparing NIC-approved faculty to deliver the training. In addition to the instructional work, the cooperative agreement includes significant administrative duties tied directly to running the program, such as sending acceptance letters, managing participant registration, and coordinating the logistics and costs associated with lodging, meals, and transportation for participants.

A required component of the project is evaluation. The awardee must conduct an evaluation of the initial delivery of the updated program in collaboration with the NIC Research and Evaluation Division, using the NIC training evaluation protocol. The solicitation notes that this evaluation should represent only a minimal cost burden to the recipient, suggesting NIC will provide guidance, tools, or direct support for the evaluation process. Beyond the classroom experience, the project must also propose and address strategies that help participants continue learning and building professional networks after the training ends, extending the programs impact past the 36-hour course.

The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number 10P12, with one expected award and a maximum award amount (ceiling) of 100,000 dollars, with no minimum award floor stated. It falls under CFDA 16.601, Corrections Training and Staff Development, and does not require cost sharing or matching funds. Eligible applicants are broadly defined and include private agencies, educational institutions, organizations, individuals, or teams that can demonstrate relevant expertise in executive-level leadership development and womens leadership in corrections or closely related areas.

Key dates show the announcement was posted August 2, 2010, with an application closing date of August 20, 2010, and an archive date of September 19, 2010. The updated training is expected to begin no later than August 2011, meaning the project timeline includes both redevelopment and preparation for initial delivery. For help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Pamela Davison, Administrative Assistant, at 202-353-0484.
