34. DOJ/NIC - Development of Training Curriculum for Delivery of Management Training in Juvenile Corrections/Detention Settings

The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) invites applications for a cooperative agreement to develop a standard, core curriculum for training persons responsible for the development of management training for supervisors and administrators within juvenile corrections and detention settings. To enable the Institute to offer state-of-the-art guidance for the development of management training, the award recipient will develop a 32-hour training curriculum including an instructors' guide with lesson plans, computer-generated view graphs to support the curriculum, and participant manual. The 32-hour curriculum will provide juvenile corrections and detention trainers multiple development and delivery methods and strategies to construct management training within their agencies that will equip managers with the core competencies to perform effectively.

As a collaborative venture with the NIC Academy Division, the recipient will develop training outcomes for the project in partnership with the NIC project manager. Funding for this cooperative agreement comes from an Interagency Agreement (IAA) between the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) and NIC. A total of $30,000 is reserved for the project which will support one cooperative agreement for a 6-month period.

This project is intended to provide juvenile corrections and detention training persons with:

• A training curriculum that provides trainers with an in-depth understanding and skills to develop dynamic and versatile management training for staff within their agencies.
• An interactive training format minimally using an instructor's guide, computer-generated view graphs to support the curriculum content and a participant manual with a record of core principles, practices, and methods learned in the training experience.

The award will be limited to a maximum total of $30,000 (direct and indirect costs) and project activity must be completed within 6 months of the date of the award. Funds may only be used for the activities that are linked to the desired outcomes of the project. All products from this funding effort will be in the public domain and available to interested agencies through the National Institute of Corrections. An eligible applicant is any private or non-profit organization, institution, individual, or team with expertise in the instructional design of training, computer-generated audio-visual training aids, and related training materials.

Applications must be received by 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, DECEMBER 16, 1999.
