Current Funding Opportunities
OJJDP is announcing a number of FY 2006 solicitations in late December 2005 and early January 2006, including announcements for the Formula Grants Program, the Juvenile Accountability Grants Program, and the Enforcing the Underage Drinking Laws Program. Other solicitations focus on the provision of training and technical assistance for the AMBER Alert Program, Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Program, and Missing and Exploited Children's Program. Information about these and other current OJJDP funding opportunities is available in the Current Funding section of the OJJDP Web site.
OJJDP Discretionary Program Grant Applications Moving to Grants.gov
As part of the federal government's efforts to streamline the grant application process, all OJJDP FY 2006 competitive discretionary program grant applications will be submitted through Grants.gov. This will only affect applicants pursuing new competitive discretionary grants. Applications for continuation, earmark, and nondiscretionary (e.g., formula) funding will still be submitted through the Office of Justice Programs' Grants Management System (GMS).
Grants.gov will serve as the single access point for more than 1,000 grant programs offered by the 26 federal grant-making agencies. Submitting applications through Grants.gov offers a number of benefits, including one-time registration, access to grant opportunities across the federal government, the ability to complete an application offline, notices of new funding opportunities, and online tracking of grant applications.
Applicants must register through the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) before applying through Grants.gov. This registration process will take several days to complete; applicants should plan accordingly to meet grant deadlines. To begin the registration process, go to www.ccr.gov.
