Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 12 National Initiatives: Law Enforcement and Missing Persons with Alzheimers Disease grant (Funding Opportunity Number BJA-2012-3332) was a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). It was designed to support national-level programs that help communities and law enforcement agencies better respond when individuals with Alzheimer s disease or related dementias go missing. The central idea behind the opportunity was that these cases create unique and urgent public safety challenges, and that stronger community partnerships, coordinated response practices, and targeted training can improve outcomes in locating missing individuals and interacting safely and appropriately with them once found.
The program falls under the funding activity category of Law, Justice and Legal Services and is tied to CFDA number 16.015, the Missing Alzheimers Disease Patient Assistance Program. The announcement emphasizes that it is aimed at national initiatives, meaning the intent is not simply to fund isolated local activities, but to invest in approaches, resources, and partnerships that can strengthen practice more broadly and improve how the criminal justice system functions in this specific area. The initiative was funded through the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012 (Public Law 112-55), which provided the appropriated funds enabling BJA to make these awards.
In practical terms, the opportunity focused on helping law enforcement and communities develop or enhance collaborative strategies to locate missing persons with dementia and to manage the interactions that can occur during search and recovery. This can include building effective partnerships among police, sheriffs offices, emergency response organizations, social service providers, advocacy and caregiver organizations, health-related entities, and other community-based groups. The emphasis on partnerships reflects the reality that missing-person incidents involving dementia often require rapid coordination, public awareness and outreach, and protocols that are sensitive to the medical and cognitive needs of the person who is missing.
The award structure listed an award ceiling of $593,842, with an award floor of $0, indicating BJA set a maximum expected award size but did not state a minimum amount. The funding instrument type was a grant, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers the barrier to entry for applicants that may not have additional funds to contribute. Key dates included a posted date of May 3, 2012, a creation date of May 7, 2012, and an application closing date of June 18, 2012 (both the original and current closing date were the same). The archive date was July 18, 2012, indicating the opportunity was no longer active after that point.
Eligibility was broad but specifically limited to entities capable of supporting national initiatives to improve criminal justice system functioning. Eligible applicants included national, regional, state, or local public and private entities, including nonprofit and for-profit organizations (with conditions), faith-based and community organizations, institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions), and units of local government. Federally recognized Indian tribal governments were explicitly included as eligible applicants. A notable condition applied to for-profit organizations: they were required to agree to forgo any profit or management fee, which is a common federal grant restriction intended to ensure federal funds are used for programmatic purposes rather than generating profit.
For application and submission logistics, the announcement directed applicants to Grants.gov for electronic submission, with technical support available through the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline (800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035) and by email at support@grants.gov. The opportunity also referenced a full announcement link for complete program guidance, which would typically include required application components, selection criteria, allowable costs, reporting expectations, and other compliance details that applicants would need to follow to be considered for funding and to successfully manage an award.
