Opportunity Summary:
The SMART FY 2010 Support For Adam Walsh Act Implementation Grant Program is a U.S. Department of Justice discretionary grant opportunity meant to help jurisdictions build, upgrade, or strengthen the systems and processes needed to carry out the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), which is Title I of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006. The core purpose is practical implementation: using grant funds to move states, territories, and participating federally recognized tribes toward meeting SORNA requirements, especially in areas where existing registry laws, technology, staffing, policies, or interagency coordination need to be improved to align with the national standards.
At the center of SORNA is the requirement that every state, the District of Columbia, the principal U.S. territories, and eligible participating tribes maintain a sex offender registry, and that sex offenders register and keep their registration current in each jurisdiction where they live, work, or attend school. The program also supports work tied to the registry standards SORNA lays out, such as ensuring registries capture specific required information, applying appropriate registration duration rules, conducting in-person verification of offender identity at required intervals, and participating in the Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website. In other words, the funding is aimed at helping jurisdictions make sure their legal frameworks and operational practices can consistently collect accurate information, verify identities, share data, and keep records current across jurisdictional lines.
This FY 2010 solicitation anticipated up to 35 awards, with an estimated total funding pool of $9.2 million. Individual awards were expected to range from $10,000 (floor) to $300,000 (ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute a set percentage of non-federal funds to receive an award. The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the program is associated with CFDA number 16.750 (Support for Adam Walsh Act Implementation Grant Program).
Eligible applicants included state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and U.S. territories. The opportunity was posted on January 19, 2010, with an original and current closing date of March 5, 2010, and an archive date of April 4, 2010. Applicants were required to submit applications through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (GMS) at https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov/, reflecting DOJ's standard electronic submission process for OJP-administered funding during that period.
For jurisdictions looking for the compliance framework behind this grant, DOJ directed applicants to the final National Guidelines on Sex Offender Registration and Notification, which outline how SORNA is interpreted and what is expected for implementation, available at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/smart/guidelinesfinal.htm. Additional general resources about the Adam Walsh Act and SMART Office activities were referenced at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/smart/. The full announcement was also linked in the opportunity materials (http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/smart/funding/SMART FY10 AWA.pdf).
