Opportunity Information: Apply for 24AC05
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) is offering a cooperative agreement under funding opportunity number 24AC05 titled "Preparation and Delivery of The Learning and Performance Coach and The Learning Designer." NIC is the only federal agency with a legislative mandate (Public Law 93-415) to provide specialized, nationally focused support to the corrections field. Through this opportunity, NIC is looking to partner with an external organization to help prepare for and deliver two established NIC training courses that build learning and performance capacity across corrections agencies. The overall purpose is to strengthen correctional practice and outcomes by ensuring training and professional development are designed and delivered by skilled learning professionals and aligned with real operational and strategic needs in the field.
The project centers on delivering two NIC courses multiple times in specific formats. The selected partner will support two virtual deliveries of "The Learning Designer" course and two hybrid deliveries of "The Learning and Performance Coach" course. In practical terms, this means the awardee is expected to collaborate closely with NIC to get these courses ready to run (including coordination, planning, and any needed course preparation consistent with NIC expectations) and then to carry out the deliveries using the required virtual and hybrid approaches. NIC frames this work as part of its role as a learning innovation leader for corrections, emphasizing that effective learning and performance is not a one-time event but a continuous improvement process that depends on strong instructional design and coaching practices.
Eligibility is broad within the United States, but it is clearly defined. NIC invites applications from nonprofit organizations (including faith-based, community-based, and tribal organizations), for-profit organizations (including tribal for-profit entities), and institutions of higher education (including tribal colleges and universities). At the same time, foreign governments, international organizations, and non-governmental international organizations or institutions are not eligible. A key condition is that recipients, including any for-profit entities, must agree to waive any profit or fee for services, which reinforces that this award is intended to support mission-driven delivery rather than generate profit.
The opportunity allows partnerships, but it requires a clear lead applicant. NIC welcomes applications involving two or more entities; however, one eligible organization must apply as the primary applicant, and any other participating organizations must be included as subrecipients. The primary applicant is responsible for administering the funding and managing the entire program, meaning they are accountable for overall project execution, coordination with NIC, and management of any subrecipient work. NIC also limits submissions by stating that only one application will be accepted from any submitting organization, so applicants need to consolidate any internal efforts into a single proposal.
The award details indicate a single expected award with an award ceiling of $100,000. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project (for example, coordination, guidance, or collaboration during planning and delivery), rather than a hands-off grant. The opportunity is listed under CFDA number 16.601 and is categorized as "Other" for both opportunity category and funding activity category in the source data. The posting was created on December 8, 2023, and the original closing date for applications was February 6, 2024.
Applicants should also be prepared to document eligibility where required. The notice specifies that proof of 501(c)(3) status as determined by the Internal Revenue Service or an authorizing tribal resolution is required, reflecting NIC's need to verify organizational standing when applicable. Overall, NIC is seeking a capable learning and performance partner that can reliably coordinate and deliver high-quality training in virtual and hybrid formats, while aligning with NIC's national mission to build corrections capacity through modern, effective learning practices.Apply for 24AC05
