Opportunity Information: Apply for 21CS25
This funding notice, titled "Facilitating Behavior Change Instructor Led Training (ILT) curriculum to a Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT)" (Funding Opportunity Number 21CS25), is a Department of Justice National Institute of Corrections (NIC) announcement describing the continuation of an existing cooperative agreement rather than an open, competitive grant opportunity. The key point is that it is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning NIC is not inviting new proposals from the public under this posting. Instead, the purpose is to publicly document that NIC intends to keep supporting a specific, already-awarded project under cooperative agreement award number 19CS04GLB3.
The activity being supported relates to converting an Instructor Led Training (ILT) curriculum focused on "Facilitating Behavior Change" into a Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) format. In practical terms, this suggests ongoing work to adapt training content originally designed for in-person delivery into a live, instructor-led virtual environment. While the notice does not describe the technical approach, a VILT conversion typically involves redesigning lesson plans for online delivery, restructuring activities for engagement in a virtual classroom, adjusting timing and pacing, updating participant materials for digital use, and ensuring the curriculum works effectively on common web-conferencing platforms. Because NIC is using a cooperative agreement, it generally implies substantial programmatic involvement by the agency in guiding, coordinating, or collaborating on the work as it progresses, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back.
The announcement lists an expected total funding amount up to an award ceiling of $65,000 and indicates there will be one expected award. That aligns with the continuation nature of the notice: the funding is associated with the existing awardee under 19CS04GLB3 rather than multiple new recipients. The posting is categorized under "Other" for both the opportunity category and the funding activity category, and it is associated with CFDA number 16.601, which corresponds to NIC program funding. The eligibility field is described broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility clarification referenced, but since the announcement is not soliciting applications, eligibility details are largely informational rather than actionable for prospective applicants.
Administrative details in the source data show the notice was created on April 9, 2021, with an original closing date of May 17, 2021. In this kind of continuation notice, the closing date functions more like an administrative endpoint for the posting itself rather than a deadline for submitting applications, because no applications are being requested. Overall, the notice serves as a transparency measure indicating NIC will continue funding a specific project to transition a behavior change facilitation training curriculum from in-person ILT to virtual VILT delivery, with a single continuation award capped at $65,000.Apply for 21CS25
