Opportunity Summary:
The Public Safety Officers Benefits Awareness, Assistance, and Support grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BJA 2010 2681) is a discretionary grant issued by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) under CFDA 16.571 (Public Safety Officers Benefits Program). The purpose of this funding is tied to the Public Safety Officers Benefits (PSOB) Program, created by Congress in 1976, which provides federally authorized Death, Disability, and Education benefits to eligible public safety officers and their survivors. The program is described as a national partnership among the BJA PSOB Office and local, state, tribal, and federal public safety agencies, along with national organizations that support officers and survivors.
At the core of this opportunity is the practical reality that PSOB claims often depend on gathering and verifying a large volume of detailed documentation from multiple sources, including the officer s employing agency, other involved public safety agencies, medical providers, and surviving family members. The grant emphasizes that the PSOB Office s ability to obtain this wide and complex range of evidence is essential to processing and deciding claims in accordance with the PSOB Act and its regulations. In addition to helping claims move forward, the opportunity also highlights the importance of maintaining and strengthening national peer support and counseling programs for families of officers who die in the line of duty, recognizing that survivors frequently need both procedural assistance (navigating benefits and requirements) and emotional or peer based support after a loss.
Funding is provided as a grant with an award ceiling of 150,000 dollars and no stated minimum (award floor 0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The solicitation was posted on April 13, 2010, with an application deadline of May 27, 2010, and an archive date of June 26, 2010.
Eligibility is limited and experience driven. Applicants may be nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education) as well as for profit organizations (other than small businesses) and other entities as described in the full announcement. However, the key limitation is that applicants must have significant experience designing and delivering national level support and resources for survivors of fallen public safety officers, and they must demonstrate knowledge of the PSOB Program and related public safety and survivor initiatives. For profit applicants face an additional condition: they must agree to waive any profit or fees for services, reinforcing that the funding is intended to directly support survivor focused services and PSOB related assistance rather than generate commercial gain.
The opportunity is administered by BJA, and the full announcement is referenced through an additional information link. For technical issues accessing the announcement electronically, the contact listed is Al Roddy, Technical Application Support, at 202 353 1881.
