Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2023 171612
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), within the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs (OJP), released a discretionary grant opportunity titled "BJA FY 23 Invited to Apply - Administrative Funding Adjustments to BJA Previously Funded Awards 2" (Funding Opportunity Number: O-BJA-2023-171612). This solicitation is not an open competition. It is specifically designed to provide continuation funding or administrative funding adjustments for a limited set of previously funded BJA awards, and only organizations that received a direct invitation letter from BJA are eligible to apply. In other words, applicants cannot self-nominate; eligibility is determined by BJA and communicated through that invitation.
The main purpose is to support continuation work tied to specific BJA initiatives that are already underway, rather than launching brand-new projects. The solicitation emphasizes OJP's broader priorities, including advancing civil rights and racial equity, improving access to justice, supporting crime victims and people impacted by the justice system, strengthening community safety, protecting the public from crime and emerging threats, and building trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. The continuation or adjustment funding is intended to keep approved work moving forward in alignment with these priorities, but within the framework of projects BJA has already funded.
A key feature of this opportunity is that the program rules do not change from the original award. The solicitation states that all guidelines and funding rules remain the same as the originally funded project, meaning applicants should expect to follow the same scope, objectives, deliverables, reporting requirements, budget rules, and other conditions that applied to the existing award. Practically, this functions like an administrative mechanism to extend or adjust support for work that has already been vetted and approved, rather than requiring applicants to re-compete in a new program with different criteria.
The opportunity is categorized under "Law, Justice and Legal Services" and is associated with CFDA number 16.741. It uses the grant funding instrument type and is listed as a discretionary opportunity. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $313,826, and BJA anticipated making 2 awards under this solicitation. The posting indicates a very short application window, with a creation date of February 22, 2023 and an original closing date of February 23, 2023, which is consistent with an invited, limited, continuation-style funding action rather than a broadly advertised competition.
The solicitation cites statutory authority supporting these awards, including Public Law 116-93 (133 Stat. 2317, 2408) and Public Law 116-260 (134 Stat. 1182, 1258). These references reflect congressional appropriations and authorizations that allow BJA to fund the relevant justice assistance activities and manage adjustments or continuation funding for previously approved initiatives. Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a targeted, invitation-only continuation/adjustment funding process meant to maintain momentum and administrative continuity for select existing BJA-funded projects.Apply for O BJA 2023 171612
