Opportunity Information: Apply for 21AC05
The Blended Correctional Leadership Development (BCLD) Training Series opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 21AC05) is a U.S. Department of Justice, National Institute of Corrections notice dated May 27, 2021, tied to CFDA 16.601. It is categorized as an "Other" type of opportunity and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work compared with a standard grant. The notice lists an award ceiling of $100,000 and anticipates a single award.
The most important point is that this announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the government intends to continue funding an existing cooperative agreement identified as award 19AC02GLB2. In other words, rather than opening a competitive application process, the agency is documenting the continuation of support for an ongoing effort related to the BCLD Training Series. Although a closing date appears in the posting (June 4, 2021), the text indicates there is no open solicitation for new applicants under this notice.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with a reference to additional eligibility details elsewhere, but because this is a continuation funding notice rather than a competitive funding announcement, the practical implication is that new organizations should not expect to apply through this posting. Overall, the opportunity functions as an administrative transparency notice: it signals continued federal support for a specific, already-funded BCLD training initiative under the National Institute of Corrections, with up to $100,000 provided through a cooperative agreement and no new applications being requested.Apply for 21AC05
