Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 10 National Initiatives Enhancing Law Enforcement and Crime Prevention grant (Funding Opportunity Number BJA 2010 2654) was a FY 2010 discretionary funding opportunity from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) designed to strengthen how the criminal justice system operates nationwide by investing in training and technical assistance (TTA) that directly supports state and local law enforcement and crime prevention work. The central idea behind the announcement was to fund national initiatives that can be scaled, shared, and reused across jurisdictions, rather than focusing only on a single local project. In practice, that means resources like practitioner training, implementation support, guidance on promising practices, and other forms of hands-on assistance meant to help agencies perform more effectively and respond to evolving public safety needs.
This solicitation drew funding authority from three connected federal programs and statutes. First, the Edward Byrne Memorial Competitive Grant Program (Byrne Competitive Program), authorized through the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (P.L. 111 117), was positioned as a way to help communities build capacity in their justice systems while also supporting national-level TTA efforts targeted to on-the-ground needs. The announcement notes that P.L. 111 117 (Division B, Title II, Section 215(1)) allows up to 3 percent of Office of Justice Programs funds made available for grants or reimbursement to be used for training and technical assistance, which is a key mechanism for funding the kinds of national support activities described. Second, the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program (42 U.S.C. 3751(a)) was highlighted as the primary source of federal criminal justice funding to state and local jurisdictions, with the flexibility to support essentially all components of the justice system. The notice also references 42 U.S.C. 3756, which permits the Attorney General to reserve up to 5 percent of JAG funds for grants to one or more states or local governments when necessary to respond to precipitous or extraordinary increases in crime, including increases in specific crime types. Third, the Missing Alzheimer s Disease Patient Alert Program, also supported through P.L. 111 117, was included to back locally based programs aimed at protecting and locating missing individuals with Alzheimer s disease and related dementias, reflecting a public safety and vulnerable-populations focus within the broader law enforcement and prevention portfolio.
The opportunity was categorized as a grant instrument under the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity area, and it carried CFDA numbers 16.751 (Edward Byrne Memorial Competitive Grant Program), 16.738 (Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program), and 16.015 (Missing Alzheimer s Disease Patient Assistance Program). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, lowering the barrier to participation for organizations that could deliver training, technical assistance, or other national support functions without needing to contribute required non-federal funds.
Eligibility was broad but oriented toward entities capable of supporting national initiatives tied to criminal justice system improvement. Eligible applicants included state governments; county, city, township, special district, and other local government units; federally recognized tribal governments; public and private entities; nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits); institutions of higher education; faith-based and community organizations; and for-profit (commercial) organizations. A notable condition applied to for-profit applicants: they were required to agree to waive any profit or fees for services, reinforcing the expectation that funded activities function as capacity-building and public benefit initiatives rather than revenue-generating work.
Key timing and funding details reflect a single FY 2010 cycle. The opportunity was posted and created on April 5, 2010, with an original and final closing date of May 20, 2010, and it was archived on June 19, 2010. The award ceiling listed was $1,172,700, with an award floor of $0, suggesting that award sizes could vary substantially depending on the project scope and the specific national initiative being supported.
