Description
OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community.With this solicitation, BJA seeks applicants for funding to enable eligible entities to improve the reporting, transportation, processing, and identification of missing persons and unidentified human remains, including migrants. Applicants should develop a collaborative approach and partner with other entities/agencies to cover both unidentified and missing persons in their jurisdiction, if applicable. This collaborative approach and partnership will help ensure that the applicant is able to address the overall goals, objectives, and deliverables for the Purpose Area under which they are applying. It is acceptable for an applicant to propose only working unidentified OR missing cases (with the provision of a brief explanation and justification) if doing both is not feasible.For Purpose Area 3 (Services to Assist Small, Rural, and/or Tribal Entities), BJA is seeking to award one applicant that will be able to provide services to assist small, rural, and/or tribal entities on a national scale. If an applicant seeks to assist these groups at the state and local levels only, then they should apply under Purpose Area 1 (Statewide Agencies) or Purpose Area 2 (Counties and/or Units of Local Government).NOTE: The "Eligibility" list on the cover page is based on overall program eligibility as defined in the statutory authority (legislation). Eligible applicants will decide what Purpose Area(s) to apply under based on their service capabilities and adhering to the goals, objectives, and deliverables for those Purpose Areas. Proposals are expected to clearly identify the purpose area to which they are applying. If applicants are requesting funds from multiple purpose areas, a separate proposal must be submitted for each purpose area to which they are applying.Successful Grant Application ExamplesSamples of previous and successful applications under both Purpose Area 1: Statewide Agencies and Purpose Area 2: Counties and/or Units of Local Government can be found at Missing and Unidentified Human Remains (MUHR) Program Funding Bureau of Justice Assistance (ojp.gov).
