Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2022 171388
The BJA FY 22 Invited to Apply - Byrne Discretionary Community Project Funding/Byrne Discretionary Grants Program 3 is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs (OJP), through the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). The purpose of this funding is to support a specific set of community and justice-related projects that Congress designated for funding in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (Public Law 117-103). In practical terms, this is not an open-ended competitive grant where any project idea can be proposed; it is an invited-to-apply program tied to projects and dollar amounts identified in the accompanying explanatory statement for the appropriations law, under the heading "Byrne Discretionary Community Project Grants/Byrne Discretionary Grants."
The opportunity is framed around OJP priorities that emphasize civil rights and racial equity, improving access to justice, supporting victims of crime and people impacted by the justice system, strengthening community safety, addressing evolving threats, and building trust between law enforcement and communities. Within that broader mission, the appropriations language highlights three main areas the funded projects are meant to advance: improving the functioning of the criminal justice system, preventing or combating juvenile delinquency, and assisting victims of crime (with the explicit note that this assistance is other than direct victim compensation). The authority for BJA to make these awards comes from the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2022, as enacted within Public Law 117-103.
Funding details in the opportunity reflect a large national allocation for this line item and a substantial number of awards. The explanatory statement cited in the notice references $184,707,000 for these discretionary grants across the set of designated projects. For this particular grant listing, the posted award ceiling is $760,000, and the expected number of awards is 208, indicating many separate project awards at varying amounts up to the maximum listed. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses the grant funding instrument, with the funding activity area listed as Law, Justice and Legal Services under CFDA/Assistance Listing 16.753.
Administratively, the posting shows it was created on July 5, 2022, with an original closing date of July 26, 2022, reflecting a short application window consistent with invited-to-apply awards that are tied to pre-identified recipients or projects. Eligibility is noted as "Others," with additional clarification referenced in an eligibility text field (not included in the excerpt), which is also consistent with Byrne discretionary community project funding where eligible applicants are typically limited to those specifically designated or otherwise instructed to apply under the congressional direction.
Overall, the grant opportunity is best understood as a congressionally directed Byrne discretionary funding mechanism managed by BJA to implement specific, named community justice and public safety projects. It is designed to invest in targeted improvements to justice system operations, youth delinquency prevention efforts, and victim services (excluding compensation), while aligning implementation with OJP priorities around equity, rights, trust, and community safety.Apply for O BJA 2022 171388
