OJJDP FY 18 Gang Suppression Grant: Enhancing Law Enforcement Efforts to Combat Gang Recruitment of Unaccompanied Alien Children

OJJDP welcomes applications under which two or more entities would carry out the federal award; however, only one entity may be the applicant. Any others must be proposed as subrecipients (subgrantees). The applicant must be the entity that would have primary responsibility for carrying out the award, including administering the funding and managing the entire project. Under this solicitation, only one application by any particular applicant entity will be considered. An entity may, however, be proposed as a subrecipient (subgrantee) in more than one application.

OJJDP may elect to fund applications submitted under this FY 2018 solicitation in future fiscal years, dependent on, among other considerations, the merit of the applications and the availability of appropriations.

In addition, as discussed further below, to the extent the applicant is a state or local government entity, in order validly to accept an FY 2018 award under this solicitation, the chief legal officer of that entity must properly execute, and the applicant must submit, the specific certifications regarding compliance with certain federal laws, attached to this solicitation as Appendices D and E. The text of these statutory provisions appear in Appendix B. (Note: This requirement does not apply to Indian tribal governments.)
