Opportunity Information: Apply for BJA 2018 13621
The BJA FY 18 Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) National Training and Technical Assistance Program is a Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), Department of Justice funding opportunity focused on strengthening PSN efforts nationwide by expanding high-quality training and technical assistance (TTA). PSN is a long-running public safety strategy aimed at making neighborhoods safer through sustained reductions in gun crime and gang violence. A central idea behind PSN is that gun and gang violence problems are local, so solutions work best when local, state, tribal, and federal partners coordinate closely under a unified district strategy led by the U.S. Attorney in each federal judicial district.
This solicitation supports one of PSN's core components: ensuring PSN teams have access to practical training and support that helps them carry out the key elements of their locally developed Strategic Action Plans. Through this program, BJA is looking for organizations that can function as national TTA providers. These providers are expected to develop criminal justice related curricula and then deliver training, guidance, and hands-on technical assistance to a broad audience that includes state, local, and tribal law enforcement, other justice system agencies, and community partners involved in PSN work. In plain terms, the goal is to make sure the people implementing PSN strategies have current, usable knowledge and tools, and can translate best practices into day-to-day operations in a way that supports measurable reductions in violence.
The opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the awardees will not only receive funding but will also typically work in close coordination with BJA on priorities, deliverables, and implementation. The funding opportunity number is BJA 2018 13621, and it is associated with CFDA 16.738. The solicitation was posted on June 5, 2018, with an original closing date of July 9, 2018.
Funding is structured with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 per award, and BJA anticipated making up to three awards. Eligible applicants include a wide range of entities capable of delivering national-level training and technical assistance, including public and state controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), for profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small businesses. Overall, the opportunity is designed to build the training infrastructure behind PSN so that multidisciplinary teams and community partners across jurisdictions can more consistently implement proven approaches to reducing gun and gang violence.Apply for BJA 2018 13621
