Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 13 National Center for Campus Public Safety grant (Funding Opportunity Number BJA 2013 3653) is a discretionary, competitive funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance, under CFDA 16.822. Its core purpose is to fund the creation and ongoing management of a National Center for Campus Public Safety that strengthens safety and security across the nation s colleges and universities. The Center is designed to support the campus public safety field by improving coordination, expanding access to practical resources, encouraging information sharing, and advancing policy development, model practices, operations guidance, and research focused specifically on higher education environments.
A central theme of the opportunity is building a national hub that serves the people who carry the day to day responsibility for campus safety. The National Center is intended to be a resource for campus police chiefs, directors of public safety, emergency managers, and other key campus safety stakeholders. Beyond simply producing materials, the Center is expected to act as a catalyst that brings together a wide range of partners involved in campus public safety, including campus public safety organizations, professional associations, advocacy organizations, community leaders, and related stakeholders. The overall idea is to improve and expand the services available to those tasked with providing a safe learning, living, and working environment on college and university campuses.
The announcement lays out several specific functions the Center must perform in close coordination with DOJ. First, it must identify and prioritize the needs of the campus public safety field, while also conducting outreach to key stakeholders and clarifying how those groups can contribute to and engage with the Center. Second, it must operate as a one stop shop for campus public safety, meaning it should be a go to national source for guidance, tools, and connections rather than forcing practitioners to navigate fragmented resources on their own. Third, it must connect existing federal and non federal resources to real constituent needs, functioning as a bridge between available programs, expertise, and materials and the practitioners and institutions that need them. Fourth, it must connect major campus public safety entities with each other and with federal agencies, with the explicit goal of improving collaboration and coordination around campus public safety issues. Fifth, it must highlight and promote best and innovative practices specific to campus public safety and help develop comprehensive responses that reflect the complexity of campus environments by integrating key public safety issues rather than treating them in isolation. Sixth, it must deliver essential training and technical assistance tailored to campus public safety, emphasizing practical support that can be implemented by campus agencies and partners.
Funding details reflect a single large scale national effort rather than a small local pilot. The posted date and creation date are May 17, 2013, with an application closing date of June 27, 2013, and an archive date of July 27, 2013. The award ceiling is listed as 2,302,389 dollars, with an award floor of 0. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants that might otherwise struggle to provide local match funds.
Eligibility is broad but targeted to organizations capable of running a multi stakeholder, nationwide initiative. Eligible applicants include national, regional, state, or local public and private entities, including nonprofit and for profit organizations, faith based and community organizations, institutions of higher education, and units of local government, so long as they support campus public safety. For profit applicants are permitted, but they must agree to forgo any profit or management fee. The opportunity also emphasizes capacity and credibility: applicants are expected to demonstrate knowledge of campus public safety needs and show they have the experience and infrastructure required to successfully carry out a multi faceted initiative involving multiple campus stakeholder groups.
In practical terms, this opportunity is about building an enduring national coordinating and support entity for campus safety rather than funding direct hiring or equipment for individual campuses. The desired end state is a well connected, widely used National Center that helps campus safety leaders find trustworthy resources quickly, learn from proven and emerging practices, coordinate with peers and federal partners, and access training and technical assistance that is specifically shaped around the realities of higher education settings.
