Opportunity Information: Apply for 21JD14
The Department of Justice, through the National Institute of Corrections (NIC), is offering a 12-month cooperative agreement to update an existing 40-hour training curriculum (FHL1) focused on management development for women and minorities working in corrections. The goal is to modernize and refresh the course content and materials so they better reflect current realities in correctional leadership, while also strengthening practical management and leadership skills for participants. The updated curriculum must be written in ITIP format and structured for delivery to a cohort of 30 participants, indicating that the end product is meant to be ready for real-world training sessions rather than remaining a conceptual outline.
The work centers on producing an updated, usable training package that addresses both professional development and the specific career barriers that women and minorities may face in correctional environments. The required content areas include an up-to-date look at the status of women and minorities in correctional leadership roles, common challenges to advancement, and the ways workplace culture and perceptions can influence opportunity. In addition to examining these systemic and organizational issues, the curriculum is also expected to teach concrete management competencies such as identifying leadership and managerial styles, developing effective skills and techniques, and applying problem-solving approaches relevant to correctional settings. A key component is addressing attitudinal barriers faced by women and minorities, which suggests the course should tackle issues like bias, organizational climate, and barriers that may not be strictly procedural but still affect advancement and leadership effectiveness.
The curriculum is also expected to move participants from learning to planning by guiding them through the development of professional goals and a personal action plan for career growth as a manager. Another required element is an exploration of each participant's agency mission and how that mission connects to mid-management advancement, tying individual development to organizational priorities and expectations. The final deliverables must include additional resource and reference information and an after-training workbook, implying NIC wants participants to leave with take-home materials that support continued development and application on the job.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically means NIC anticipates ongoing involvement in the project, such as collaboration, review, feedback cycles, and coordination during curriculum development. The funding opportunity number is 21JD14, and it was posted on July 2, 2021, with an original application deadline of August 16, 2021. The award ceiling is $150,000, and NIC expects to make one award. The funding falls under CFDA 16.601, and eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full solicitation, signaling that this may be open to qualified organizations or entities that can demonstrate the specialized corrections expertise required.
To be competitive, applicants are expected to clearly show deep subject-matter credibility. The solicitation specifies at least 10 years of corrections experience and an understanding of, and/or direct experience with, mid- and upper-level correctional management. Applicants must also demonstrate corrections training experience that includes both security and civilian staff, reflecting the mixed workforce in corrections and the need for the curriculum to be relevant across roles. Overall, NIC is seeking a qualified partner to deliver a polished, current, and practical leadership development curriculum that helps prepare women and minorities in corrections for advancement and effectiveness in management roles.Apply for 21JD14
