National Institute of Corrections curriculum grant

The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) is soliciting proposals to develop and field test a 36-hour curriculum to train a multi-disciplinary staff in state correctional agencies and prison systems. Two training pilots at sites selected by NIC will be completed ideally no later than September 30, 2010, with a final curriculum delivered to NIC no later than December 31, 2010.

Amount: Negotiable (12 months)

Date due: November 30, 2009

The training curriculum will focus on the concept of agency management and operations as a systemic and collaborative effort of all stakeholders in the system. It will include updated and contemporary elements essential for managing an agency and institution to achieve its statutory mandates and mission in an increasingly challenging and budget lean environment. It will include modules on organizational change and building a culture for collaboration. The ultimate goal of the curriculum will be to provide management teams with the tools to manage their operations and demonstrate efficient, effective, safe and secure practices for staff, inmates and the general public.
