New Funding Opportunity from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA)

BJA has issued the FY2018 Supporting Innovation: Field Initiated Programs solicitation. This is BJA's program that seeks to encourage applications from the field to support the testing of new innovative approaches that can be translated to others addressing similar challenges.   It includes two categories:  1.  for applications from local, state or tribal governments to test a new approach that addresses a gap in the field and 2. for national or regional training, technical assistance or studies to address a need in the field.

The solicitation is open until 7/30/2018. Here is the link to the solicitation: https://www.bja.gov/funding/Field18.pdf

This year, BJA Director Adler is prioritizing funding for strategies that address the needs created by violent crime related to tribes and tribal members.  This is in response to feedback from tribal leaders about concerns related to violent crime raised during a recent consultation and listening sessions.

On the afternoon of July 9 at 2:00 pm ET, BJA will be hosting a webinar related to the focus area of strategies that address the needs created by violent crime related to tribes and tribal members.  We encourage folks to review the solicitation and to consider any questions you may have in preparation for the webinar.  Here is the link to the webinar registration: https://bjatraining.webex.com/bjatraining/onstage/g.php?MTID=e3b0902f1c6cf27c142fb40f4840c9776
