Opportunity Information: Apply for 21JD06
The Department of Justice's National Institute of Corrections (NIC) published a notice titled "Virtual Curriculum Development of Safety Matters: Managing Relationships in Women's Facilities and Training of Trainers" (Funding Opportunity Number 21JD06). The posting is important to read as an informational notice rather than a competitive grant announcement. NIC explicitly states this is not a request for applications; instead, it is a notice of intent to fund a specific project without full and open competition, meaning the agency is not soliciting new proposals from the public through a standard open call.
The project focus, as indicated by the title, is the development of a virtual curriculum for "Safety Matters: Managing Relationships in Women's Facilities," along with a training-of-trainers component. In practical terms, this signals an effort to convert or build instructional content into an online or virtual format that can be delivered remotely, likely to support correctional agencies and staff working in women's facilities. The "managing relationships" theme typically refers to professional boundaries, staff-inmate interactions, dynamics among incarcerated individuals, and the broader interpersonal environment that affects safety, professionalism, and facility operations. The training-of-trainers element suggests NIC wants not only a course that can be taken online, but also a package that prepares designated instructors to deliver the material consistently, scale the instruction across sites, and maintain fidelity to the curriculum.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NIC expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out. Compared with a standard grant, a cooperative agreement often involves closer collaboration with the agency on deliverables, timelines, content direction, review cycles, and implementation decisions. The opportunity category and activity category are both listed as "Other," and the assistance listing (CFDA) is 16.601, which corresponds to NIC's correctional training and technical assistance programming.
The notice lists an anticipated single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $30,000. This suggests a relatively focused, deliverable-driven effort, such as adapting existing materials into a virtual format, producing facilitator guides and participant materials, and possibly creating a structured training plan for trainers. The posting was created on December 14, 2020, with an original closing date of December 29, 2020, though because the notice is not a request for applications, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative timeline marker than a typical application deadline for open competition.
Eligibility is broadly categorized as "Others," with a note to see the additional eligibility clarification field (not provided in the text you shared). In many NIC notices of this type, that language reflects that the agency already has an intended recipient or a narrowly defined set of eligible entities based on program needs, prior work, or statutory/regulatory justifications for limiting competition. Overall, the key takeaway is that this posting communicates NIC's intent to fund the virtual curriculum development and trainer preparation work for the Safety Matters program in women's facilities, using a single cooperative agreement capped at $30,000, and it is not an open, competitive solicitation for new applicants.Apply for 21JD06
