Opportunity Information: Apply for INL23GR0029 WHPCARSI GREAT 041423
The U.S. Department of State, through the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), is offering a discretionary grant opportunity to support the implementation of the Gang Resistance Education And Training (G.R.E.A.T.) Program across Central America, with a particular focus on providing training and technical assistance. The G.R.E.A.T. program is a school-based, life-skills and competency curriculum delivered by uniformed law enforcement officers, designed to help young people build practical skills that reduce their vulnerability to gangs and violence. It emphasizes strengthening positive attitudes toward law enforcement, improving decision-making and conflict avoidance, resisting negative peer pressure, and developing personal responsibility and pro-social behavior.
This opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number INL23GR0029 WHPCARSI GREAT 041423 and falls within the “Law, Justice and Legal Services” funding activity category (CFDA/Assistance Listing 19.705). INL is seeking a single award, with an anticipated maximum award amount (ceiling) of $1,350,000. The grant mechanism is the funding instrument, and the competition is open to eligible applicants categorized broadly as “Others,” with further eligibility details referenced in the announcement’s additional eligibility information section. The notice was created on April 14, 2023, and the original application deadline was June 2, 2023.
In practical terms, the project’s core purpose is to expand and strengthen the delivery of the G.R.E.A.T. model by equipping law enforcement and partner institutions in Central America with the training, tools, and ongoing technical support needed to implement the curriculum consistently and effectively in school settings. Because the program is delivered by uniformed officers, the effort also implicitly supports community policing goals by fostering constructive, trust-building interactions between youth and law enforcement in a structured educational environment. The expected outcome is a more capable regional implementation framework that can deliver G.R.E.A.T. instruction with fidelity, reinforce prevention-oriented policing approaches, and provide youth with skills and attitudes associated with lower involvement in delinquency and gang activity.Apply for INL23GR0029 WHPCARSI GREAT 041423
