Opportunity Information: Apply for 24AC02
The Executive Excellence Phase Three opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 24AC02) is a National Institute of Corrections (NIC) notice stating the agency intends to make a single award without full competition. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning NIC is not inviting the public to submit proposals and there is no open application process tied to this announcement. Instead, the posting functions as a public transparency notice that NIC plans to proceed with an award through a non-competitive approach.
The award is expected to be issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project period (for example, coordination, guidance, or collaboration on deliverables), rather than a standard grant where the recipient operates with more independence. The opportunity is categorized under "Other" for both the opportunity category and activity category, and it is associated with CFDA/Assistance Listing number 16.601, which corresponds to National Institute of Corrections assistance programs.
NIC anticipates making one award with an award ceiling of $50,000. The listed eligible applicants are "Others," a broad label that can include entities outside the usual government, nonprofit, or academic categories, but in this context it does not imply an open field of applicants because the notice is not competitive. The original closing date shown (January 30, 2024) should be read as an administrative date associated with the announcement record rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since submissions are not being solicited.
In practical terms, this announcement is most relevant to stakeholders tracking NIC funding actions, partners involved in the Executive Excellence initiative, or organizations trying to understand upcoming federal awards in this area. Anyone seeking funding under this title should not expect to apply through this posting; the agency is signaling it will proceed directly to an award without running a full, open competition.Apply for 24AC02
