Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS) is a consolidated funding opportunity designed to make it easier for federally recognized Tribes and Tribal consortia to seek DOJ support for public safety, justice system improvements, and services for victims of violence. Launched in 2010, CTAS combined several DOJ Tribal government-specific competitive grant solicitations into a single application process, so a Tribe or Tribal consortium can submit one coordinated application rather than multiple separate ones. The broader goal is to help Tribal communities plan and fund a more comprehensive, community-wide strategy to address crime, victimization, and related public safety challenges.
CTAS grew out of DOJ engagement with Tribal communities that began in 2009, when meetings held across the country highlighted the urgency of violent crime in Tribal areas and the need for a more workable federal funding approach. DOJ has continued refining CTAS based on multiple rounds of input, including Tribal consultations, written comments, focus groups, listening sessions, and formal feedback mechanisms such as an assessment tool circulated to applicants from FY2011 and FY2012. The solicitation described here reflects that ongoing refinement, including updates connected to the Tribal Law and Order Act (TLOA), which influenced how certain DOJ Tribal grant programs operate and are administered.
A central feature of CTAS is its organization into multiple competitive grant program categories called "Purpose Areas." Applicants choose the Purpose Area or Areas that best match their local priorities, such as strengthening law enforcement capacity, improving criminal and juvenile justice systems, preventing youth substance abuse, and expanding services for victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, elder abuse, and other violent crimes. Because a single application can request funds across multiple Purpose Areas, DOJ may issue multiple awards to the same applicant based on the portions of the application that are approved for funding. Administration can vary because different DOJ program offices manage different Purpose Areas; as a result, awards may be overseen by the specific DOJ office responsible for that funding stream. In some cases, the same Purpose Area application can result in more than one separate award if the activities fall under distinct funding streams that were combined for application convenience. When that happens, the Tribe or consortium is expected to keep those funds separate and complete reporting requirements for each individual award to the relevant DOJ component.
The scale of CTAS funding is substantial. The solicitation notes that in FY2012, 249 Tribes (either applying alone or through consortia) submitted applications, and DOJ made more than 200 grant awards spanning 10 Purpose Areas, totaling over $101 million. Across the first three years of CTAS, funding supported a wide range of activities aimed at preventing and controlling crime, strengthening justice systems, and addressing victim needs, reflecting CTAS's emphasis on integrated public safety planning rather than isolated, one-off projects.
Eligibility for this CTAS opportunity is limited primarily to federally recognized Indian Tribal governments, as determined by the Secretary of the Interior, including Alaska Native villages. Tribal consortia composed of two or more federally recognized Tribes are also eligible. The solicitation also notes that Tribal designees can participate for certain activities under DOJ Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) and Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) programs, with purpose-area-specific eligibility details and exceptions referenced in the full announcement. The listed CFDA program areas tied to this solicitation include crime victim assistance discretionary grants, violence against women discretionary grants for Tribal governments, Tribal justice facilities, Tribal court assistance, public safety partnership/community policing grants, and the Tribal youth program.
From an administrative standpoint, this FY2013 CTAS opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OJP 2013 3422) is a discretionary grant program managed under the DOJ Office of Justice Programs. Applications had to be submitted electronically through DOJ's Grants Management System (GMS), with a strict deadline of 9:00 PM ET on March 19, 2013; late submissions were not considered. The opportunity listed an award ceiling of $1,000,000 and indicated a cost-sharing or matching requirement applies (with the exact details dependent on the relevant Purpose Area and program rules). Although CTAS coordinates the application process for Tribal government-specific DOJ funding, Tribes and consortia are also encouraged to apply separately to other non-Tribal-specific DOJ grant programs for which they may be eligible, using Grants.gov and other federal agency resources to identify additional options.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): DOJ Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS)
What is the DOJ Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS)?
CTAS is a consolidated U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) funding opportunity created to make it easier for federally recognized Tribes and Tribal consortia to apply for DOJ support. It is designed to support public safety, justice system improvements, and services for victims of violence through one coordinated application process.
Why was CTAS created?
CTAS was launched in 2010 to replace multiple separate DOJ Tribal government-specific competitive solicitations with a single, coordinated application. The intent is to reduce the burden on applicants and better support comprehensive, community-wide strategies to address crime, victimization, and related public safety challenges in Tribal communities.
How does CTAS differ from applying to multiple DOJ grant programs separately?
Under CTAS, a Tribe or Tribal consortium can submit one coordinated application that may request funding across multiple competitive grant categories, rather than preparing and submitting multiple separate applications for different Tribal-specific DOJ solicitations.
What kinds of projects or activities does CTAS support?
CTAS supports activities aligned with public safety and justice needs in Tribal communities. Examples referenced include strengthening law enforcement capacity, improving criminal and juvenile justice systems, preventing youth substance abuse, and expanding services for victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, elder abuse, and other violent crimes.
What are "Purpose Areas" in CTAS?
Purpose Areas are the competitive grant program categories within CTAS. Applicants select the Purpose Area or Areas that match their priorities and proposed activities. CTAS includes multiple Purpose Areas (the solicitation example references 10 Purpose Areas).
Can an applicant apply to more than one Purpose Area?
Yes. A key feature of CTAS is that one coordinated application can request funding across multiple Purpose Areas to support a more integrated, community-wide strategy.
Can DOJ make more than one award to the same applicant under CTAS?
Yes. Because an application may include requests across multiple Purpose Areas, DOJ may issue multiple awards to the same applicant based on which parts of the application are approved for funding.
Who manages CTAS awards within DOJ?
Administration can vary by Purpose Area because different DOJ program offices manage different Purpose Areas. As a result, awards may be overseen by the specific DOJ office responsible for that funding stream.
Can one Purpose Area request result in more than one separate award?
Yes. In some cases, the same Purpose Area application can result in more than one separate award when the proposed activities fall under distinct funding streams that were combined for application convenience.
If an applicant receives multiple CTAS awards, are there special administrative requirements?
Yes. When multiple awards are issued, the Tribe or consortium is expected to keep the funds separate and complete reporting requirements for each individual award to the relevant DOJ component.
Who is eligible to apply for this CTAS opportunity?
Eligibility is limited primarily to federally recognized Indian Tribal governments (as determined by the Secretary of the Interior), including Alaska Native villages. Tribal consortia composed of two or more federally recognized Tribes are also eligible.
