Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2021 55002
The BJA FY 21 Smart Prosecution - Innovative Prosecution Solutions (IPS) Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), designed to help prosecutors strengthen public safety outcomes. Its central goal is to reduce crime by giving state, local, and tribal prosecutorial agencies the resources they need to build or expand practical, evidence-informed approaches to prosecution. A key theme of the program is "smart prosecution," meaning offices are expected to rely on data and analysis to understand local crime problems, set priorities, test strategies, and measure what is working. The program is meant to support responses that are not only effective, but also economical and innovative, tailored to the realities of a particular jurisdiction rather than relying on one-size-fits-all solutions.
Eligible applicants include state and local prosecutorial agencies, federally recognized Indian tribal governments that perform prosecution functions, and tribal consortia made up of two or more federally recognized tribes. Tribal consortia may apply, including those operated as nonprofit organizations, when acting as a fiscal agent for one or more prosecutor agencies. In the source listing, eligible applicant categories are also reflected broadly as state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, along with other qualifying entities consistent with the solicitation's prosecutorial focus.
A major eligibility and compliance condition tied to FY 2021 DOJ discretionary funding is the law enforcement certification requirement stemming from Executive Order 13929, Safe Policing for Safe Communities. Under this policy, state, local, and university or college law enforcement agencies must be certified by an approved independent credentialing body, or must have begun the certification process, in order to be eligible for DOJ discretionary grant funds in FY 2021. To obtain certification, an agency must satisfy two mandatory conditions: first, its use-of-force policies must align with all applicable federal, state, and local laws; second, its policies must prohibit chokeholds except in circumstances where the use of deadly force is legally permitted. This requirement extends beyond direct recipients: it also applies when a law enforcement agency benefits from DOJ discretionary funds through a subaward arrangement, meaning applicants need to pay attention to the compliance status of any partnering or subrecipient law enforcement agencies connected to the proposed project. DOJ provided further details and resources (including standards, an implementation fact sheet, and credentialing bodies) at https://cops.usdoj.gov/SafePolicingEO.
The opportunity is identified as BJA FY 21 Smart Prosecution - Innovative Prosecution Solutions, Funding Opportunity Number O-BJA-2021-55002, under CFDA 16.825, with BJA as the issuing agency. The original application closing date listed is April 26, 2021, and the award ceiling shown is $340,000. Finally, the solicitation includes a strict financial condition affecting how funds may be used: all recipients and subrecipients, including any for-profit organizations, must forgo any profit or management fee, which means grant-funded activities must be budgeted and administered on a no-profit basis rather than built to generate margin or overhead labeled as profit.Apply for O BJA 2021 55002
