Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2021 35002
The BJA FY 21 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program - State Solicitation is a federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), under Funding Opportunity Number O-BJA-2021-35002. It is part of the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program, which is widely considered the main source of federal criminal justice funding that states and local jurisdictions rely on to support a broad range of public safety and justice system priorities. This particular solicitation is specifically for state applicants; BJA indicated it would release a separate solicitation for units of local government.
At a policy level, the solicitation is framed around DOJ priorities that include promoting civil rights, expanding access to justice, supporting crime victims, protecting the public from crime and evolving threats, and strengthening trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. In practice, that means the grant is intended to help states fund and coordinate criminal justice strategies that are consistent with those goals, whether the focus is improving system performance, addressing emerging crime problems, or strengthening services and supports for people impacted by crime.
The funding instrument is a grant, and the associated CFDA number is 16.738, which corresponds to the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program. The opportunity was created on June 3, 2021, with an original application closing date of July 6, 2021. BJA anticipated making 56 awards under this state solicitation, reflecting an expectation that most or all states and territories eligible under the program would receive an award, consistent with how JAG is typically administered.
Eligibility is primarily limited to state governments, with the listing also noting "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)." That wording generally signals that the state is the direct applicant, while certain designated agencies or state-level administering entities may apply on behalf of the state depending on the program rules and the state’s assigned point of contact. The key takeaway is that this solicitation is designed for state-level participation rather than city, county, or municipal applicants, which are directed to a different, separate local solicitation.
Financially, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $19,447,453. While individual award amounts vary by state based on the program’s allocation methodology, the ceiling gives a sense of the upper bound any single state award could reach under this funding round. Overall, the program’s structure is meant to provide flexible, foundational funding that states can use to support and enhance criminal justice initiatives, often including cross-agency planning and coordination across law enforcement, courts, corrections, prevention, victim services, and other parts of the justice system.
In short, this FY 2021 BJA JAG state solicitation is a major DOJ/BJA grant program for state governments to fund criminal justice and public safety work aligned with core DOJ priorities, with applications due in early July 2021, and awards expected across roughly 56 state and territorial recipients.Apply for O BJA 2021 35002
