Opportunity Summary:
The Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) National Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Program is a Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) discretionary grant opportunity focused on strengthening the ability of communities and justice partners nationwide to reduce violent crime, gun related crime, and criminal gang activity. Under this solicitation, BJA is looking for experienced training and technical assistance providers who can build practical, criminal justice focused curricula and deliver training, coaching, and other forms of support to state and local law enforcement, other justice system agencies, and community partners. The work is meant to produce broad national impact, not just isolated local improvements, and it is grounded in research and evidence based strategies.
A central feature of the opportunity is that the selected provider(s) will support the broader PSN National TTA Program, which is described as a coordinated Department of Justice effort involving multiple DOJ components. Those listed include the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the U.S. Marshals Service, the Criminal Division, the National Gang Targeting Enforcement Coordination Center (Gang TECC), the Office of the Deputy Attorney General, the Office of Justice Programs, and BJA. The intent is to bring federal leadership together with proven expertise from practitioners, researchers, community outreach and mobilization specialists, and media/communications experts, so training and assistance delivered to the field is consistent, credible, and operationally useful.
In terms of what the program aims to change on the ground, the PSN National TTA Program is designed to raise the overall capability of local and state stakeholders to address violent offenders and violent crime patterns more effectively. The solicitation emphasizes improving knowledge, communication, collaboration, and tactics among agencies and community partners, with particular attention to strategies that can prevent and disrupt gun violence and gang violence. The training and technical assistance supported here is also described as comprehensive, meaning it can cover a range of criminal justice topic areas that affect communities, including (as reflected in the eligibility language) prevention, enforcement, intervention, and reentry approaches tied to violent crime and anti gang efforts.
The administrative details in the posting indicate this is a grant (not a cooperative agreement or contract) under CFDA 16.609, Project Safe Neighborhoods. The funding opportunity number is BJA 2010 2601, with an award ceiling of $425,000 and no stated award floor. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted March 29, 2010, with a closing date that moved from May 13, 2010 to May 18, 2010, and it was later archived June 17, 2010. The authorizing reference cited in the description is the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111 117).
Eligibility is limited to applicants that can demonstrate both subject matter depth and national delivery capacity. The eligible applicant types listed include nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non 501(c)(3), excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories), public and state controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and for profit organizations other than small businesses, as well as faith based organizations and consortiums. However, the key gatekeeping requirement is experience: applicants must have demonstrated experience addressing violent crime and anti gang strategies across prevention, enforcement, intervention, and reentry, and they must already have experience delivering training and technical assistance at a national level. For profit applicants can apply, but they must agree to waive any profit or fees for service, reinforcing that the funding is intended to maximize public safety benefit rather than generate commercial gain.
Overall, the opportunity is essentially asking for a national level training and technical assistance engine for PSN: an organization (or partnership) that can design high quality curricula, deliver training and hands on assistance across jurisdictions, and help local agencies and communities work together using proven approaches to reduce violent crime, gun violence, and gang related harm. The solicitation positions the work as part of a coordinated DOJ wide effort, with the awardee expected to contribute to consistent national capacity building rather than stand alone trainings.
