Opportunity Information: Apply for O OJJDP 2022 171265
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). The overall purpose is to fund specific, congressionally designated projects (often referred to as earmarks or community project funding) that are intended to improve how the criminal justice system functions, prevent or combat juvenile delinquency, and support victims of crime in ways other than direct compensation. In practical terms, this is a targeted funding stream meant to carry out projects already identified in federal appropriations language, rather than a fully open, competitive solicitation where any applicant can propose any idea.
The opportunity is rooted in OJP priorities that emphasize civil rights and racial equity, expanding access to justice, supporting victims and people impacted by the justice system, strengthening community safety, addressing evolving threats, and improving trust between law enforcement and communities. Those themes frame what DOJ expects these funded projects to advance. While the grants can cover a range of justice-related activities, the defining feature is that awards are tied to the projects and dollar amounts laid out in the explanatory statement that accompanies the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022.
Legally, the authority comes from the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2022, within the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (Public Law 117-103). The appropriations language cited in the notice specifies $184,707,000 for discretionary grants for the stated purposes, and it directs that the money be used for the projects and amounts listed under the heading "Byrne Discretionary Community Project Grants/ Byrne Discretionary Grants" in the accompanying explanatory statement. In other words, Congress set aside a defined pool of funding and explicitly linked it to a list of named projects, and OJJDP is carrying out the administrative process to award those funds consistent with that direction.
From a grants management standpoint, this opportunity is categorized as an earmark and uses the grant instrument type. The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the associated CFDA number is 16.753. The posting indicates an award ceiling of up to $5,000,000, with an expected 18 awards. The opportunity was created on April 11, 2022, with an original closing date of May 23, 2022. The listing also notes eligibility as "Others," with clarification typically provided in the full announcement under an eligibility section. Because this is an "Invited to Apply" program tied to designated projects, eligibility commonly centers on the entities named or otherwise specified for those projects in the congressional materials, rather than broad eligibility for all potential applicants.
In short, this grant opportunity is a mechanism for OJJDP to distribute FY 2022 Byrne discretionary community project funds that Congress has already directed to particular initiatives. The funded work is expected to align with DOJ and OJP priorities around equity, access to justice, victim support, public safety, and community trust, while staying within the purpose areas Congress specified: improving criminal justice system functioning, preventing or combating juvenile delinquency, and assisting victims of crime (excluding compensation).Apply for O OJJDP 2022 171265
