Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC), through its Academy Division, offered a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity to create a new Training for Executive Excellence (TEE) curriculum focused on leadership style and instrumentation for correctional executives. The central purpose was curriculum development, specifically a competency-based training program delivered through a blended modality approach (meaning it would combine multiple delivery methods, such as in-person instruction with distance learning or other mixed formats). The training was intended to strengthen the real-world leadership capabilities of senior correctional leaders by building concrete knowledge, skills, and abilities tied to executive performance in corrections settings.
The curriculum to be developed was expected to emphasize personal and professional leadership growth in several targeted areas. NIC sought a program that would help executives become more self-aware and grounded in ethical, values-based leadership; improve their ability to think strategically; and increase their organizational influence in ways that support effective change and decision-making. The planned content also aimed to strengthen collaborative and team-oriented leadership behaviors, including the ability to set clear organizational priorities, articulate and align a strategic vision and mission, and build partnerships outside the agency. In practice, this means the curriculum would likely incorporate leadership assessment tools (instrumentation), structured reflection, practical exercises, and applied planning activities that connect executive leadership behaviors to organizational outcomes in correctional environments.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted March 23, 2010, with an application deadline of March 30, 2010, and it was later archived on April 29, 2010. NIC anticipated making one award. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which generally implies a more active federal role in the project compared to a standard grant, often including substantial programmatic involvement or collaboration during development. No cost sharing or matching was required. The opportunity was listed under CFDA 16.601, Corrections Training and Staff Development, and the funding activity category was identified as “Other,†clarified as Training for Executive Excellence Curriculum Development. The public listing showed an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically signals that the specific funding amount was not provided in the summary record and would need to be confirmed in the full announcement.
Eligibility was broad and allowed for applications from any qualified public or private agency, educational institution, organization, individual, or team, as long as they had demonstrated expertise relevant to the work described. In other words, NIC was open to proposals from a wide range of potential developers, including universities, training vendors, nonprofit organizations, consultants, or multi-partner teams with experience in executive leadership development, competency-based curriculum design, and corrections-related training. For help accessing the complete announcement, the listed contact was Pamela Davison, Administrative Assistant, at (202) 353-0484.
