Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) FY 14 National Initiatives grant opportunity on Law Enforcement and Missing Persons with Alzheimers Disease (Funding Opportunity Number BJA 2014 3778) is a discretionary federal grant designed to strengthen how communities and law enforcement respond when individuals with Alzheimers disease or related dementias go missing. The program sits within the broader FY 2014 national initiatives framework, meaning it is meant to support strategies that have wide reach and can be applied across jurisdictions rather than serving only one local area. Funding is provided under CFDA 16.015, the Missing Alzheimers Disease Patient Assistance Program, and the overall emphasis is on building practical, coordinated partnerships that improve locating missing individuals and managing encounters involving cognitive impairment in a safe, effective, and compassionate way.
At its core, the opportunity is geared toward developing and delivering activities that help law enforcement agencies work more effectively with community partners such as caregiver networks, social service providers, health organizations, community based and faith based groups, and other local stakeholders who may play a role in prevention, rapid response, and recovery. The purpose is not simply to fund routine policing or general public safety operations, but to support targeted programs that address a specific recurring challenge: when a person with dementia wanders or becomes disoriented, time is critical and traditional missing person approaches may not be sufficient without specialized training, protocols, and coordination with those who understand the persons medical and caregiving context. The projects envisioned under this announcement are intended to improve readiness nationwide by promoting consistent practices, shared resources, and collaboration models that can be used broadly.
A key eligibility requirement is that proposed projects must deliver activities nationwide. While the applicant types include a wide range of entities (public and private), the intent is not to fund a single city or county program that only benefits its own residents. Applicants must propose a national level effort, such as creating resources, training, toolkits, partnerships, or program models that can be disseminated and used across the country by law enforcement and communities. Eligible applicants include state, county, and local governments (including city or township governments), federally recognized tribal governments, public and private institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions), nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, and for profit organizations (with the condition that for profit applicants must agree to forgo any profit or management fee). The announcement also allows other national, regional, state, or local public and private entities, including tribal nonprofit or for profit organizations, as well as community and faith based organizations, so long as the project scope is national.
The funding parameters indicate an award ceiling of $540,000 and an award floor of $0, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. This structure suggests flexibility in award sizing up to the maximum amount, depending on the scope and strength of the proposed national deliverables. Because the instrument type is a grant and the activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, projects would be expected to align clearly with justice system needs, operational realities of law enforcement, and measurable improvements in response to missing incidents involving dementia.
The application timeline reflects a FY 2014 solicitation window, with the opportunity posted and created on January 13, 2014, and an original and current closing date of March 17, 2014. The archive date is April 16, 2014, indicating when the listing was formally archived after the submission period. For applicants at the time, submissions were handled through Grants.gov, with technical assistance available through the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline (800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035) or by email at support@grants.gov, offered 24/7 except federal holidays. The listing also references a full announcement link for detailed requirements, which would typically include the specific program narrative expectations, allowable and unallowable costs, performance measures, reporting obligations, and any required attachments or forms.
Overall, this opportunity can be understood as a targeted national capacity building grant: it aims to help law enforcement and communities nationwide improve coordination, training, and operational approaches for locating missing people with Alzheimers disease and related dementias, with the broader public safety and public health goal of reducing harm, speeding recoveries, and improving outcomes for vulnerable individuals and their families.
