Opportunity Information: Apply for 22JD14
The Correctional Industries Leadership Training - Curriculum Conversion opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 22JD14) is a Department of Justice, National Institute of Corrections (NIC) cooperative agreement focused on modernizing an existing professional development course used within NIC's broader Correctional Industries Initiative. The initiative supports leadership development for correctional industries programs, and the centerpiece of this award is converting an established curriculum into a fully usable Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) format while keeping the underlying instructional content essentially the same.
The funded work is centered on taking NIC's existing blended professional development curriculum, titled Correctional Industries Leadership Training, and converting it specifically for VILT delivery. The training already exists in instructor-led and virtual formats at some level, but this project targets a more complete, intentional conversion of the course package so it functions smoothly in a live virtual classroom setting. The materials included in the curriculum package are substantial and cover the full range of teaching and learning supports: a learner's guide, a facilitator's guide, participant and facilitator handouts, and the related PowerPoint slide decks. Rather than rewriting or changing the substance of the training, the expectation is that the awardee will preserve the course content and only make limited textual edits such as grammar fixes or minor corrections.
The main value of the project is in the instructional design and production work needed to make the curriculum work well as VILT. That means addressing the design and layout of the materials, structuring each module for virtual delivery, and specifying the facilitation details for every module and activity so an online instructor can run the course effectively. In practice, that typically involves translating in-room activities into virtual equivalents, building clear instructions for virtual breakout discussions or collaborative exercises, aligning slides and handouts to the virtual flow, and ensuring the learner and facilitator materials match the pacing, tools, and constraints of an online synchronous environment. The opportunity description makes it clear that the deliverable is not new content, but a better-engineered virtual version of the existing course with strong, module-by-module guidance on how to facilitate it online.
Administratively, this is a cooperative agreement, meaning NIC is likely to have an active role during the period of performance rather than simply providing funds and receiving final deliverables. The opportunity was created on December 7, 2021, with an original closing date of February 7, 2022. NIC expected to make one award, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $95,000. The funding activity category is listed as "Other" and the CFDA number is 16.601, which corresponds to NIC's assistance listings. Eligibility is broadly indicated as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement.
Overall, the grant is best understood as a targeted curriculum conversion and virtual facilitation design project: take a complete, established correctional industries leadership training package, correct minor errors, and produce a polished VILT-ready version with updated layout, virtual delivery structure, and detailed facilitation instructions that support consistent, high-quality online instruction.Apply for 22JD14
