Goals
The goal of this cooperative agreement is to create a complete NIC-branded and formatted “hand-off”-level curriculum package (facilitator and participant guides, slide decks, video clips, and other required materials) using existing in-house curriculum materials.
Objectives
A proposal responsive to this solicitation should, at a minimum identify a plan to address the scope and timeframe of the project; determine the methodology and resources necessary to deliver the work products, identify a team with demonstrated subject matter expertise, experience in designing and developing VILT curricula and instructional materials for adult learners.
The objectives to be completed at a minimum are:
- Participate in a kickoff project team meeting using NIC’s virtual instructor-led platform and clarify the deliverables, work products, and time frames for this project.
- Consult with the NIC program manager to gain an understanding of the history, purpose, and objectives of the Leadership Development for Mid-Level Managers course and formulate recommendations for the design, format, and layout of instructional materials for the course.
- Submit draft course materials to the NIC program manager for review and approval.
- Attend and audit a pilot to evaluate the effectiveness of the training curriculum based on the Instructional Theory Into Practice (ITIP) model.
- Complete edits and/or revisions as a result of the pilot and submit the final draft of “hand-off”-level curriculum package for the course for NIC review and approval.
Funding Information
NIC expects to make one award for as much as $150,000.00 for a 12-month project period, beginning on December 1, 2024. Requests for amounts more than a total of $150,000.00, including direct and indirect costs will not be considered.
Eligibility Criteria
- NIC invites applications from nonprofit organizations (including faith-based, community, and tribal organizations), for-profit organizations (including tribal for-profit organizations), and institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions of higher education). Recipients, including for-profit organizations, must agree to waive any profit or fee for services. Foreign governments, international organizations, and non-governmental international organizations/institutions are not eligible to apply. Proof of 501(c) (3) status as determined by the Internal Revenue Service or an authorizing tribal resolution is required.

The applicant must be the entity with primary responsibility for administering the funding and managing the entire program. Only one (1) application will be accepted from a submitting organization.
- NIC may elect to make awards for applications submitted under this solicitation in future fiscal years, dependent on the merit of the applications and on the availability of appropriations.
