Justice Sector Training, Research, and Coordination (JusTRAC) 3.0 | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Justice Sector Training, Research, and Coordination (JusTRAC) 3.0 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0009845) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State grant competition administered by the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the Department of State expects to be actively involved in guiding and coordinating key aspects of the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program sits in the Law, Justice, and Legal Services activity area and is tied to CFDA 19.703.

At its core, JusTRAC 3.0 is designed to support a single project that advances U.S. government efforts to strengthen rule of law assistance overseas by improving how different agencies work together. The initiative emphasizes interagency coordination in support of Administration priorities, with the idea that more aligned planning, shared learning, and better coordination across U.S. government actors can make justice-sector assistance more effective and consistent. The opportunity frames justice-sector support as both a governance and public safety issue, aiming to increase public trust by improving the fairness, independence, and accountability of criminal justice institutions.

The substantive focus areas highlighted in the opportunity include advancing the rule of law, countering corruption, and promoting judicial independence. In practical terms, that typically points to activities such as developing or delivering specialized training and capacity-building for justice-sector stakeholders, producing applied research that helps diagnose obstacles or identify what works in different contexts, and creating mechanisms that improve coordination and information-sharing among agencies involved in overseas rule of law programming. The description also stresses strengthening effective and accountable criminal justice practices, which signals attention not only to technical competence but also to integrity, oversight, transparency, and procedures that protect rights and reinforce legitimacy.

Funding for this opportunity is relatively large for a single award. INL listed an award ceiling of $8,840,000 and anticipated making one award, meaning one applicant would be selected to implement JusTRAC 3.0 at the scale envisioned. The opportunity was created on May 31, 2023, with an original closing date of July 31, 2023, placing it in a standard federal grant timeline window of roughly two months for submission. While the eligibility line is summarized as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the key takeaway is that eligibility is not limited to a narrow set of applicants in the high-level listing and would depend on the detailed eligibility language in the full notice.

Overall, JusTRAC 3.0 is best understood as a coordination-and-learning platform for justice-sector assistance overseas, backed by a sizable cooperative agreement and run by INL, with the explicit purpose of helping U.S. rule of law programming better address corruption, judicial independence, and accountable criminal justice outcomes that contribute to public trust and safety.
