Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 15 Law Enforcement and Missing Persons with Alzheimers Disease grant (Funding Opportunity Number BJA 2015 4076) is a discretionary Bureau of Justice Assistance program designed to help law enforcement agencies respond more effectively when people with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias go missing. The core purpose is practical and community-oriented: strengthen or build local partnerships that help officers locate missing individuals faster, improve how agencies interact with people living with dementia during searches or encounters, and coordinate resources across public safety and community organizations. Funding for the initiative was expected to come from the FY 2015 appropriation, and it sits under the law, justice, and legal services activity category.
The program anticipated making about five awards nationwide, with an estimated total funding pool of $600,000. Individual awards were expected to top out at $120,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning applicants needed to contribute a required portion of project costs through cash or in-kind support as specified in the full announcement. The funding instrument type was a grant, indicating funds would support an approved project plan and budget rather than a fee-for-service contract.
Eligibility was geared toward front-line local public safety agencies. Applicants needed to be local law enforcement agencies from city or township governments, county governments, or federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and they had to serve communities with a significant share of residents aged 65 or older. The solicitation encouraged collaborative proposals involving two or more entities, such as partnerships between police or sheriffs departments and community organizations, health providers, aging services, or other local stakeholders. Even in collaborative projects, one eligible law enforcement agency had to serve as the lead applicant with primary responsibility for administering the award and managing the overall project. Only one application per lead applicant would be considered, but proposed subrecipients could participate across multiple proposals led by different agencies.
In practical terms, the opportunity was aimed at improving the local systems that support missing-person response for individuals with dementia: coordination protocols, communication channels, and partnership-driven approaches that help law enforcement act quickly and appropriately. While the summary information does not list specific allowable activities, the stated emphasis on "developing community partnerships" signals projects that formalize relationships, clarify roles, and connect law enforcement with community resources that can aid searches and safe recoveries.
Key administrative details include the CFDA number 16.015 (Missing Alzheimer's Disease Patient Assistance Program). The opportunity was posted on February 9, 2015, and closed on April 6, 2015, with an archive date of May 6, 2015. For application submission issues, the listed technical assistance resource was the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline at 800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035, or support@grants.gov, available 24/7 except federal holidays. The full announcement was available through the provided additional information link, with instructions to seek help if there were problems accessing it electronically.
