Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2021 40001
The BJA FY 21 National Initiatives: Law Enforcement and Prosecution opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number O-BJA-2021-40001) is a discretionary grant offered by the Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance, and it is structured as a cooperative agreement. Its central goal is to support national-level training and technical assistance (TTA) projects that strengthen core criminal justice functions tied to law enforcement operations, prosecution practices, and criminal justice analysis. The broader DOJ framing behind the solicitation emphasizes advancing civil rights, widening access to justice, supporting crime victims, protecting the public from both longstanding and emerging threats, and improving community trust in law enforcement. In practical terms, the funding is meant to back initiatives that can be delivered at scale and used across jurisdictions, rather than programs limited to a single local agency or a narrow geographic area.
The solicitation anticipates making around four awards, with an award ceiling of up to $3,000,000 per award. Because the funding is issued as a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect a closer working relationship with BJA than in a typical formula or pass-through grant, including ongoing coordination, progress reporting, and alignment with federal priorities for the funded TTA work. The funding is tied to CFDA numbers 16.738 and 16.827, which are commonly associated with BJA assistance and justice-system capacity-building efforts.
Eligible applicants are broad and include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those categories), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other than small businesses), individuals, and other entities as described in the solicitation’s additional eligibility language. This wide eligibility range reflects the TTA focus of the program, where national support providers can come from universities, research and training organizations, professional associations, specialized technical firms, or other capable entities that can deliver training curricula, practitioner resources, toolkits, strategic guidance, and implementation support to justice partners.
Key timeline details for the FY 2021 competition show the opportunity was created on June 16, 2021, with an original application closing date of August 2, 2021. Overall, the program is best understood as a national initiatives vehicle for strengthening the operational capabilities and day-to-day effectiveness of law enforcement and prosecution systems through structured training and hands-on technical assistance, while also reinforcing DOJ priorities around constitutional policing, fairness, victim-centered practices, public safety, and legitimacy in the eyes of the communities served.Apply for O BJA 2021 40001
