Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 13 State, Local, and Tribal Terrorism Prevention Training and Technical Assistance Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), designed to strengthen the ability of state, local, and tribal law enforcement to prevent and respond to terrorism and related violent criminal threats. The program sits within DOJ's broader Strategic Plan for FY 2012-2016, specifically aligning with the goal of preventing crime and protecting the public while enforcing federal law, and the objective of combating violent crime. In practical terms, the grant focuses on keeping frontline agencies prepared to detect, investigate, and interdict terrorism threats, especially in multiagency environments where coordination, information sharing, and consistent operational standards are essential.
At its core, the solicitation aims to select one or more qualified organizations to continue delivering specialized training, technical assistance, and related support services nationwide. These services are intended for law enforcement officers who confront criminal extremist and terrorist threats, and the emphasis is on building practical capabilities rather than abstract policy work. While the announcement does not list every course topic in the excerpt provided, it makes clear that the supported work should help officers operate effectively in terrorism-related detection and investigations, including working across agencies and jurisdictions.
A central requirement of the program is that all supported training and materials must explicitly protect individual privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties throughout the intelligence process. This is not presented as a side consideration; it is a primary design condition of the initiative. The solicitation also requires that training content be ethnically and culturally accurate and delivered in a way that reinforces law enforcement officers' constitutional responsibilities. In other words, the program is structured to enhance public safety while reducing the risk of biased practices, unlawful intelligence activity, or training content that could lead to discriminatory or unconstitutional outcomes.
The opportunity is funded under the Department of Justice appropriation in the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013 (Public Law 113-6). The funding opportunity number is BJA-2013-3663, and it is associated with CFDA 16.614 (State and Local Anti-Terrorism Training). The total anticipated award ceiling listed is $1,566,464, with no stated award floor, which means proposals could potentially range from smaller scoped efforts up to the maximum amount depending on BJA's final award decisions. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
Eligibility is broad, but experience expectations are clear. Eligible applicants include for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), nonprofit organizations including 501(c)(3) entities, faith-based and community organizations, public and private institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions), and consortiums, including tribal nonprofit or for-profit entities. However, applicants must demonstrate significant, proven experience in terrorism prevention strategies and in delivering training and technical assistance to law enforcement and tribal communities nationwide. For-profit applicants must agree to forgo any profit or management fee, reinforcing that federal grant funds must be used strictly for program purposes. If applying as a consortium, the submission must name a primary applicant and co-applicants and include letters of support that clearly describe each partner's responsibilities, signaling that BJA expects defined roles and credible collaboration rather than informal partnerships.
Timing details reflect the FY 2013 cycle: the opportunity was posted and created on May 31, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 15, 2013, and an archive date of August 14, 2013. Applications were submitted through the standard federal grants process (Grants.gov), with technical support provided through the Grants.gov hotline and email.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as an operational readiness and capacity-building program for terrorism prevention in policing, focused on delivering high-quality training and technical assistance at scale, while embedding constitutional policing principles into every stage of intelligence and prevention work.
