What This Grant Funds
OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community.
With this solicitation, NIJ seeks proposals for rigorous, independent evaluations of the outcome and impact of projects funded under the FY 2022 OJP Community Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative solicitation (hereafter, the OJP solicitation). Such evaluations are also expected to examine questions regarding program implementation (e.g., process evaluation).[1] To be considered under this solicitation, an applicant must collaborate with an entity applying to the OJP solicitation and clearly document that collaboration with a signed memorandum of understanding or letter of support. NIJ will only consider applications addressing Categories 3 and 4 of the OJP solicitation.
The knowledge gained through the conduct of these evaluations will build evidence as to the implementation and effectiveness of strategies designed to reduce violent crime using community-based interventions. This solicitation further supports the DOJ Comprehensive Strategy for Reducing Violent Crime.
Beyond the documentation pertaining to the collaborating organization referenced above, applications proposing evaluation data collection involving partnerships with juvenile/criminal justice or other agencies should include a strong letter of support, signed by an appropriate decision-making authority from each proposed, partnering agency. A letter of support should include the partnering agency's acknowledgement that de-identified data derived from, provided to, or obtained through this project will be archived by the grant recipient with the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD) at the conclusion of the award. Applicants and their potential partners are encouraged to review the NACJD's policies and protections at (NACJD). If selected for award, grantees will be expected to have a formal agreement in place with partnering agencies by October 1, 2022. That formal agreement must include a provision to meet the data archiving requirements of the award.
In the case of partnerships that will involve the use of federal award funds by multiple partnering agencies to carry out the proposed project, only one entity/partnering agency may be the applicant (as is the case with any application submitted in response to this solicitation); any others must be proposed as subrecipients.
For purposes of this solicitation, “state” means any state of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
To be considered eligible under this solicitation, all applicants must document with a signed memorandum of understanding or letter of support that they are cooperating with an entity that will submit an application as an Expansion and Enhancement project site under the FY 2022 OJP Community Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative solicitation, Categories 3 and 4.
To advance Executive Order 13929 Safe Policing for Safe Communities, the Attorney General determined that all state, local, and university or college law enforcement agencies must be certified by an approved independent credentialing body or have started the certification process to be eligible for FY 2022 DOJ discretionary grant funding. To become certified, the law enforcement agency must meet two mandatory conditions: (1) the agency’s use-of-force policies adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and (2) the agency’s use-of-force policies prohibit chokeholds except in situations where use of deadly force is allowed by law. The certification requirement also applies to law enforcement agencies receiving DOJ discretionary grant funding through a subaward. For detailed information on this certification requirement, please visit https://cops.usdoj.gov/SafePolicingEO to access the Standards for Certification on Safe Policing for Safe Communities, the Implementation Fact Sheet, and the List of Designated Independent Credentialing Bodies
Foreign governments, foreign organizations, and foreign colleges and universities are not eligible to apply. Federal agencies are eligible to apply. (Any award made to a federal agency will be made as an inter-agency reimbursable agreement.)
All recipients and subrecipients (including any for-profit organization) must forgo any profit or management fee.
