Opportunity Information: Apply for O OJJDP 2022 171416
The OJJDP FY 2022 Invited to Apply - Byrne Discretionary Community Project Funding/Byrne Discretionary Grants Program is a Department of Justice grant opportunity administered by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) under the Office of Justice Programs (OJP). It is an earmark-based funding opportunity tied directly to projects that Congress specifically designated for support in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (Public Law 117-103). In practical terms, this means the funding is not a broad, open competition for any applicant with a strong idea; it is structured to fund the particular community projects and amounts identified in the accompanying congressional explanatory statement that the Act incorporates by reference.
The purpose of the funding is to support work that strengthens the justice system and community safety, with emphasis on three core outcomes: improving the functioning of the criminal justice system, preventing or combating juvenile delinquency, and assisting victims of crime (other than direct compensation to victims). OJP frames these investments within larger departmental priorities that include advancing civil rights and racial equity, increasing access to justice, supporting crime victims and people impacted by the justice system, protecting the public from crime and emerging threats, and building trust between law enforcement and communities. While those priorities describe the values and direction of DOJ programming, the actual funded activities under this opportunity are constrained by what Congress designated in the appropriations language and the related explanatory statement.
Funding for these awards comes from an appropriation that sets aside $184,707,000 for discretionary grants under the heading "Byrne Discretionary Community Project Grants/Byrne Discretionary Grants" in the explanatory statement referenced by the Act. OJJDP is the awarding office for this particular posting, and the statutory authority is the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2022, as contained in Public Law 117-103 (Div. B, Title II). The opportunity is categorized as an earmark and uses the grant instrument type, with the funding activity aligned to Law, Justice, and Legal Services. The associated CFDA number listed is 16.753.
Key administrative details reflect that it was a time-limited, invited-to-apply solicitation. The opportunity was created on August 5, 2022, with an original closing date of August 26, 2022. The expected number of awards was 18, and the maximum award amount (award ceiling) was $5,000,000. Eligibility is not described as broadly open; it is listed as "Others," with the clear implication that eligibility is tied to the entities connected to the designated community projects in the congressional explanatory statement rather than the general public or all typical DOJ grant applicant categories.
In summary, this grant opportunity is best understood as a mechanism for OJJDP to distribute congressionally directed Byrne discretionary community project funds to the specified recipients and projects named in the FY 2022 appropriations explanatory statement, supporting justice system improvements, juvenile delinquency prevention efforts, and victim services (excluding compensation), while aligning with DOJ's broader commitments around equity, access to justice, public safety, and community trust.Apply for O OJJDP 2022 171416
