The U.S. Department of Justice's National Indian Country Training Initiative, together with the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), is pleased to announce the Accessing BJA Discretionary Grants for Tribes Workshop.
The Department of Justice will cover travel related costs for those selected to attend the training. Please apply only if you are fully committed to attending the training.
Tribes are eligible to apply for many funding opportunities that are not tribal specific and not included in the Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS). The Accessing BJA Discretionary Grants for Tribes Workshop is designed to provide applicants from tribal communities with tools and guidance that may assist the tribe's efforts to access BJA's non-CTAS grant funding and other resources to improve their justice systems.
This workshop will cover the proposal and application process and offers tips to avoid common mistakes. Topics addressed during the workshop include:
- Reviewing a solicitation
- Formatting a grant narrative
- Preparing an application checklist and building a writing team
- Addressing application components
- Creating a budget
- Writing goals, objectives, and deliverables/tasks
- Identifying community strengths and resource mapping
- Demonstrating capabilities and competencies
Upon completion of this workshop, attendees will be able to create a project design that includes goals, objectives, and tasks needed to achieve submission of a successful proposal for many of BJA's grant funding opportunities.
Registration deadline: November 29, 2024. Applicants will receive notification of their application status by December 13, 2024.
The Executive Office for United States Attorneys will provide reasonable accommodations to people with disabilities. Requests should be made to Heather Cumper as early as possible, preferably at least two weeks in advance of the seminar. No nominee will be excluded from a course on the basis of a disability-related accommodations request. This training is authorized under the Government Employees Training Act.
