Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2023 171820
The BJA FY23 Invited to Apply Solicitation for Law Enforcement Operations is a continuation funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs (OJP), administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). It is designed to support ongoing, specific BJA law enforcement operations initiatives by providing additional funding under the same basic framework as the originally funded project. The central themes of the opportunity align with OJP priorities such as advancing civil rights and racial equity, improving access to justice, supporting crime victims and people impacted by the justice system, strengthening community safety, responding to evolving public safety threats, and promoting trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
This solicitation is not open to the general public. It is strictly limited to organizations and entities that received a formal letter from BJA inviting them to apply. In practice, that means eligibility is controlled by invitation rather than broad applicant categories, even though the listing references “Others” and directs readers to additional eligibility details in the full solicitation materials. If an organization did not receive the BJA invitation letter, it would not be able to compete for or submit an application under this opportunity.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that BJA expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work beyond what is common in a standard grant. While the specific form of involvement can vary by project, cooperative agreements often involve close coordination with the agency, required participation in technical assistance or peer learning activities, more frequent reporting or deliverable reviews, and alignment with BJA-directed implementation expectations tied to the original award.
As a continuation opportunity, the key point is that “all guidelines and funding rules are the same as for the originally funded project.” That means applicants should generally expect to follow the same program design, budget parameters, allowable cost rules, performance measures, reporting requirements, and compliance obligations that applied to the initial award. Rather than proposing an entirely new program, the intent is to extend, enhance, or complete previously approved work in support of ongoing BJA initiatives, building directly on prior activities and progress.
The opportunity is categorized under Law, Justice and Legal Services and is associated with multiple CFDA numbers (16.041, 16.044, 16.614, 16.738, 16.752, 16.754), reflecting that the invited projects may span several BJA/OJP program authorities or initiative areas. The statutory authority for any given application is not generalized in the notice; instead, applicants are instructed to reference the specific authority identified in their invitation letter. In other words, the legal basis for the funding is tailored to the invited applicant and project, and the controlling authority is the one BJA cites in that correspondence.
Administratively, the opportunity was created on July 3, 2023, with an original closing date of July 14, 2023, indicating a short turnaround consistent with an invited, continuation-style application rather than a full open competition. BJA anticipated making about 15 awards, with an award ceiling listed at $11,100,950. The ceiling represents the maximum amount indicated for an award under this opportunity listing, though actual award amounts would depend on the terms of the invitation, the approved scope, and the continuation needs of each project.
In plain terms, this solicitation functions as an agency-directed continuation pathway: BJA selects specific recipients to invite, expects them to follow the same rules and structure as their existing BJA-funded work, and provides cooperative agreement funding to keep high-priority law enforcement operations initiatives moving forward in ways that support OJP’s broader goals around equity, justice, victim support, community safety, and public trust.Apply for O BJA 2023 171820
