Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 10 State, Local, and Tribal Terrorism Prevention Training and Technical Assistance National Initiative Program was a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). It was designed to fund a national-level training and technical assistance effort that strengthens terrorism prevention capabilities for state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies. The program was funded under the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-117), and it aimed to advance DOJ counterterrorism priorities by improving how front-line and partner agencies identify, assess, and respond to terrorism-related threats within their jurisdictions.
A central feature of the initiative was its emphasis on doing counterterrorism work in a way that protects constitutional rights and safeguards civil liberties, civil rights, and privacy throughout the intelligence process. In practical terms, the program intent was not only to expand operational readiness and information-handling capabilities, but also to reinforce lawful, appropriate, and accountable practices when gathering, analyzing, sharing, and acting on intelligence. The grant therefore positioned training and technical assistance as both a capability-building tool and a compliance-and-governance tool, reflecting the expectation that prevention efforts must be effective while also meeting legal and ethical standards.
The opportunity was posted on January 26, 2010, with an application closing date of March 18, 2010, and it was archived on April 17, 2010. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category was Law, Justice and Legal Services. The associated CFDA number was 16.614, identified as State and Local Anti-Terrorism Training. The award ceiling was $3,000,000, the award floor was listed as $0, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of award.
Eligibility was broad and included a range of organizational types capable of delivering national training and technical assistance. Eligible applicants included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The listing also noted faith-based and community organizations as part of the eligibility information, signaling that these entities could be considered where appropriate under the program rules. Overall, the structure suggests BJA was looking for entities with the capacity to develop curriculum, deliver training at scale, provide technical assistance to varied law enforcement partners, and incorporate strong legal and civil-rights frameworks into all delivered materials.
