Summary
This Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation furthers the Department’s mission by providing federally-recognized Tribes and Tribal consortia an opportunity to develop a comprehensive and coordinated approach to public safety and victimization issues and to apply for funding to reduce and prevent crime and victimization. DOJ’s existing Tribal government-specific programs are included in, and available through, this single Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation. DOJ’s Tribal government-specific competitive grant programs are referred to as “Purpose Areas.” Applicants may apply for funding under the Purpose Area(s) that best address Tribes’ concerns related to public safety, criminal and juvenile justice, and the needs of victims/survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other forms of violence.
The FY13 purpose areas are:
- Public Safety and Community Policing (COPS)
- Comprehensive Tribal Justice Systems Strategic Planning (BJA)
- Justice Systems, and Alcohol and Substance Abuse (BJA)
- Corrections and Correctional Alternatives (BJA)
- Violence Against Women Tribal Governments Program (OVW)
- Children’s Justice Act Partnerships for Indian Communities(OVC)
- Comprehensive Tribal Victim Assistance Program (OVC)
- Juvenile Justice (OJJDP)
- Tribal Youth Program(OJJDP)
Each purpose area has specific goals and objectives. Potential applicants should carefully review each purpose area and it's goals and objectives prior to applying. More information about the specific goals and objectives of each purpose area is available in this program's official guidance, located at: http://www.justice.gov/tribal/ctas2013/solicitation-document.pdf.
History of Funding
In FY2012, 249 Tribes (individually or as part of a consortium) submitted applications, resulting in the DOJ funding more than 200 grant awards.The awards covered 10 Purpose Areas, totaling
over $101 million. In all 3 years of CTAS, funding was awarded to enhance law enforcement; bolster criminal and juvenile justice systems; prevent youth substance abuse; serve domestic violence, sexual assault, and elder victims; and support other efforts to prevent and control crime.
The FY12 CTAS combined award list is available at: http://www.justice.gov/tribal/docs/ctas-award-list-2012.pdf.
Additional Information
Generally funding may not be used to purchase food and/or beverages for any meeting, conference, training, or other event under any CTAS Purpose Area. Exceptions may be available in very rare and unique circumstances, with the approval of the awarding office. All award recipients that propose to hold or sponsor conferences (including meetings, trainings, and other similar events) will be required to minimize costs, and may be required to receive prior written approval of conference costs. Prior review and approval of conference costs can take time, and applicants should take this into account when submitting proposals. Applicants also should understand that conference cost limits may change and that they should check the guidance for updates before incurring such costs.
