Opportunity Information: Apply for 21AC08
The Department of Justice's National Institute of Corrections (NIC) offered a cooperative agreement funding opportunity titled "Leadership Development for Supervisors" (Funding Opportunity Number 21AC08, CFDA 16.601) to modernize and expand how NIC delivers leadership training to the corrections field. NIC is a federally mandated agency under Public Law 93-415 and serves as a national resource that provides specialized, practitioner-driven assistance across state and local adult corrections, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and other justice partners. The main purpose of this opportunity was to support NIC's role as a center for learning, innovation, and leadership by strengthening frontline supervisory leadership, which NIC views as essential to improving correctional practices and outcomes across agencies.
At the core of the project is the conversion of NIC's existing in-person, instructor-led "Leadership Development for Supervisors" training into a virtual instructor-led training (VILT) format. The intended audience is the first-line supervisor tier, as well as agencies that want to build a pipeline of competent first-line supervisors. This emphasis reflects NIC's position that effective leadership is needed at every organizational level and that leadership development is not a one-time event, but an ongoing process requiring continuous learning and professional growth. The virtual format is meant to increase accessibility and scalability while preserving the benefits of instructor-led facilitation, discussion, and applied learning.
The content to be converted is grounded in NIC's established competency framework, specifically the Supervisor Managerial Profile from "Correctional Leadership Competencies for the 21st Century" (manager and supervisor levels). In practical terms, that means the virtual course is expected to remain aligned with the real job demands and responsibility areas faced by supervisors in correctional environments, using NIC's competency model as the organizing backbone. The solicitation also points applicants to the NIC competency document for reference and to ensure the redesigned virtual curriculum stays faithful to NIC's supervisory leadership expectations.
Administratively, this opportunity was structured as a single expected award with a funding ceiling of $100,000. The posting was created March 30, 2021, with an original closing date of May 31, 2021. The opportunity category and activity category were listed as "Other," and eligibility was described broadly as "Others" with additional clarification typically provided in the full notice. Overall, the grant was designed to fund a partner capable of translating an established, competency-based corrections leadership curriculum into an effective, interactive virtual program that supports agency operational and strategic needs while strengthening the first-line supervisor workforce nationally.Apply for 21AC08
