Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS), funding opportunity number DOJ 2016 4369, is a discretionary grant/cooperative agreement opportunity designed specifically for federally recognized tribal governments and tribal consortia. Its core purpose is to help tribes build a comprehensive, coordinated strategy to address public safety needs and victimization issues in their communities. Rather than requiring tribes to navigate multiple separate DOJ tribal program solicitations, CTAS bundles DOJ Tribal Government-specific programs into a single application process, making it easier to pursue funding in a more integrated way.
CTAS supports activities that fall under the broad category of law, justice, and legal services. The solicitation is tied to multiple CFDA program areas (16.582, 16.585, 16.587, 16.596, 16.608, 16.710, 16.731), reflecting the fact that it can cover a range of justice-related needs. In practice, that structure is meant to encourage applicants to think across systems and programs, for example by aligning law enforcement, courts, corrections, victim services, prevention efforts, and related capacity-building into a coordinated plan rather than isolated projects.
Eligibility is primarily for federally recognized Native American tribal governments, with additional eligible entities referenced as "Others" depending on the specific eligibility clarifications provided in the full solicitation. Awards are issued by the U.S. Department of Justice, and the maximum award amount listed is $4,000,000. The opportunity anticipated a relatively large number of awards (189 expected awards), signaling broad national reach across tribal communities rather than a small, highly limited competition.
Applications must be submitted electronically through the DOJ Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (GMS) at https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov/gmsexternal/. The process requires two steps: first, registering in GMS, and second, completing and submitting the application within GMS. The posting and creation dates for this particular cycle were November 18, 2015, and the closing date was February 23, 2016 (original and current closing dates were the same), which establishes the timeline for that funding round.
