Opportunity Summary:
The RSAT Training and Technical Assistance Program (Funding Opportunity Number: BJA 2016 9212) is a discretionary grant opportunity released by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance (USDOJ-OJP-BJA). Its purpose is to strengthen Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) programs that already receive support through BJA's RSAT formula funding program by providing training and technical assistance. In practical terms, this opportunity is focused less on directly funding treatment beds or services and more on improving how RSAT-funded programs operate by helping them build capacity, apply evidence-informed approaches, and address implementation challenges across correctional settings.
The opportunity is categorized under the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding activity area and is associated with CFDA number 16.593. It uses a grant as the funding instrument and is structured to make a single award, with an award ceiling of $360,000 and an expectation of one recipient. This suggests BJA intended to select one organization to serve in a national or broad support role, acting as a central provider of training resources, guidance, and hands-on technical assistance to RSAT formula grantees and their partner agencies.
Eligibility is relatively broad and includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions where applicable), and for-profit organizations that are not small businesses. The listing also includes an "others" category, with the note that additional eligibility clarification may exist in the full announcement. This range indicates the program is open to organizations that have the subject-matter expertise and infrastructure to deliver training and technical assistance, including universities, research and training centers, nonprofit technical assistance providers, and certain private-sector organizations with relevant experience.
Key administrative details place this opportunity in the 2016 cycle: it was created and posted on April 5, 2016, with an original and current closing date of June 2, 2016. Because the closing date has passed, it is best understood as a historical solicitation, but the summary still reflects the core intent: to provide targeted support that helps RSAT formula-funded programs improve quality and effectiveness through structured training and specialized technical assistance rather than through direct service expansion funding.
