THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Violence Prevention/Intervention, Community Safety, Gangs, Gun Violence
Deadline: May 30, 2024
“With this solicitation, the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) seeks to prevent and reduce violent crime in communities by supporting comprehensive, evidence-based community-based violence intervention and prevention programs. These programs include efforts to address gang and gun violence, based on partnerships among community residents, local government agencies, victim service providers, community-based organizations, law enforcement, hospitals, researchers, and other community stakeholders.
OJP’s Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) is administering the opportunity, working in partnership with OJP’s Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) and Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). This collaborative approach will help ensure jurisdictions have access to expertise to address community violence that involves youth, young adults, and adults, both as the individuals responsible for perpetrating this violence and as those who are victims of it. Awards made under this solicitation may be managed by BJA, OJJDP, or OVC, depending on the nature of the project.
There are four funding categories under this solicitation:
- Categories 1 and 2 focus on local or tribal community violence intervention (CVI) projects led by either community-based organizations (CBO) or units of local government. Categories 1 and 2 are divided by type of applicant to allow for applicants to be evaluated against similar applicant types.
- Category 3 focuses on state governments that will coordinate and support CVI strategies in one or more localities within the state.
- Category 4 focuses on regional or national intermediary organizations seeking to provide intensive training and technical assistance, oversight, and subawards to build the capacity of local CBOs.”
