This BJA grant is for supporting innovative Field-Initiated Programs aimed at preventing and reducing crime while enhancing the criminal justice system. BJA seeks collaborative proposals addressing emerging or chronic crime problems and systemic issues. This includes exploring new approaches, filling response gaps, leveraging research, or building capacity within the field. The program encourages fresh perspectives from state, local, tribal, and national entities. Applications fall into two categories: Category 1 supports testing strategies at local levels, documenting implementation, and developing replication tools. Category 2 focuses on developing targeted national or regional strategies to address critical needs. All proposed strategies must be innovative or align with BJA’s Strategic Plan.

| Description: | Under this solicitation, BJA seeks to prevent and reduce crime and enhance the criminal justice system through collaboration with the field to identify, define, and respond to emerging or chronic crime problems and systemic issues. BJA is looking for proposed strategies to address these issues, including trying new approaches, addressing gaps in responses, building or translating research knowledge, or building capacity to address the issues. Applications under this program should not duplicate other BJA-funded programs. BJAs Field-Initiated Programs solicitation provides opportunities to support a small number of local, state, tribal, and national projects that bring fresh perspectives and ideas to enhance practice and prevent crime in the field. Applications are sought in two areas: Category 1: Applications that propose to test a strategy at the state, local or tribal level, documenting implementation and developing tools to support national replication. Category 2: Applications to develop targeted and national or regional strategies that will make an impact in addressing a critical need or gap in the field. Regional projects must show that they are a model that is specific to a regional need or could be implemented effectively regionally and replicated elsewhere. In both categories, the applicants must propose innovative strategies or strategies that are aligned with the BJA Strategic Plan and are consistent with the goals of this solicitation. |
