Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2023 171459
The grant opportunity titled "BJA FY 23 Invited to Apply - Administrative Funding Adjustments to BJA Previously Funded Awards" is a Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) continuation funding announcement issued by the U.S. Department of Justice under the Office of Justice Programs (OJP). It is designed to provide additional or adjusted administrative funding for projects that BJA has already funded, rather than launching a new competitive grant program. The main idea is to keep certain existing BJA initiatives moving forward through continuation support, using the same core project framework that was approved in the original award.
A key point is that this solicitation is not open to the general public. Only organizations or entities that received a formal invitation letter from BJA are eligible to apply. In practice, this means the applicant pool is intentionally limited to a small set of prior award recipients, and the application is essentially a continuation or adjustment process tied directly to an active or previously awarded BJA project. The eligibility category is listed broadly as "Others," but that label is clarified by the invitation-only requirement, which is the real gatekeeper for who can submit an application.
The purpose and policy framing align with OJP priorities that emphasize civil rights and racial equity, improved access to justice, support for crime victims and people impacted by the justice system, stronger community safety strategies, protection from crime and evolving threats, and building trust between law enforcement and communities. While these priorities are broad, the solicitation makes clear that any continuation funding must still follow the boundaries of the original project. In other words, the funding is meant to sustain or adjust already-approved work, not to introduce a completely new program concept.
Administratively, the opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the funded project compared to a standard grant. The opportunity is categorized as continuation funding, and it references funding activity in the humanities area (with a note pointing to Cultural Affairs in CFDA), while also listing multiple CFDA numbers: 16.609, 16.738, and 16.838. Those CFDA references signal that the continuation awards could be associated with different BJA program streams or legacy funding categories, depending on the original award being adjusted.
In terms of scale and timing, the solicitation was created on November 3, 2022, with an original closing date of November 9, 2022, reflecting a short turnaround consistent with an invited, administrative continuation process rather than an open competition. BJA anticipated making about 3 awards, and the listed award ceiling is up to $1,000,000, suggesting that individual continuation awards could be sizable but limited to the specific invited recipients and the needs of their ongoing initiatives.
Finally, the solicitation emphasizes that all guidelines and funding rules remain the same as the originally funded project. That means performance requirements, allowable costs, reporting expectations, and scope restrictions should mirror the initial award terms unless BJA specifies otherwise through the continuation or adjustment process. The statutory authority cited includes Public Law 117-103, which is one of the appropriations laws supporting federal funding, indicating that these continuation adjustments are backed by enacted federal appropriations and related authority.Apply for O BJA 2023 171459
