Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2023 171486
The BJA FY 23 Local Law Enforcement Crime Gun Intelligence Center (CGIC) Integration Initiative is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). The overall purpose is to help jurisdictions strengthen how they identify, track, and respond to gun crime by integrating local law enforcement efforts with Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) partnerships. The program emphasizes the use of timely intelligence, appropriate technology, and community engagement to quickly identify firearms used unlawfully, determine where those firearms came from, and support effective investigations and prosecutions focused on people driving violent crime.
This solicitation is framed within OJP priorities that extend beyond enforcement outcomes alone. It explicitly links the funded work to advancing civil rights and racial equity, increasing access to justice, supporting victims and others affected by the justice system, strengthening community safety, protecting the public from evolving threats, and building trust between law enforcement and the community. In practice, applicants are expected to show how their CGIC integration approach will produce more focused, intelligence-driven responses to gun violence while aligning with these broader public safety and equity goals.
Funding is offered through a grant mechanism under the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category, with assistance listed under CFDA 16.738. The opportunity number is O-BJA-2023-171486. Awards were anticipated to be competitive, with an expected total of seven awards and a maximum (ceiling) amount of $700,000 per award. The solicitation was created on December 12, 2022, and had an original application closing date of February 6, 2023.
Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments, as well as other eligible entities as described in the solicitation's additional eligibility language (referenced in the listing as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)"). While the summary listing does not spell out the full range of "other" eligible applicants, the intent of the program is clearly aimed at state, local, and tribal jurisdictions that can operationally partner with ATF and implement or enhance CGIC integration activities.
At its core, this initiative targets the operational gap between gunfire or firearm recovery events and the moment when investigators have actionable leads that can be used to stop retaliatory violence, disrupt illegal firearm sources, and prosecute high-impact offenders. By supporting a more integrated crime gun intelligence capability, BJA is seeking to help jurisdictions shorten investigative timelines, improve coordination across agencies, and increase the likelihood that unlawful firearm use is met with swift, well-supported investigative and prosecutorial action.Apply for O BJA 2023 171486
