Executive Leadership Training for New Wardens

The National Institute of Corrections is seeking to award a cooperative agreement to support the delivery of its Executive Leadership Training for New Wardens curriculum to strengthen leadership capacity within corrections agencies. The selected partner will deliver three in-person leadership training programs, which include pre-class instructional webinars and post-event coaching for select participants. The curriculum is a 36-hour, instructor-led program designed for wardens with fewer than two years of experience, focusing on critical administrative skills, fiscal decision-making, and institutional culture. This is a non-competitive continuation of Cooperative Agreement 24PR09GLS4, meaning applications received from organizations other than the prior award recipient will not be reviewed or considered. The opportunity has an estimated total funding and award ceiling of $200,000, with a submission deadline of July 15, 2026.
