BJA FY24 Community Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative Training and Technical Assistance (CVIPI TTA)- Invited to Apply, Administrative Funding Adjustment to BJA Previously Funded Awards 7 | O BJA 2024 172096

Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2024 172096

This funding opportunity is a continuation-style solicitation from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) for the FY24 Community Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative Training and Technical Assistance (CVIPI TTA). It is labeled "Invited to Apply" and is specifically designed as an administrative funding adjustment for organizations that already hold a related BJA award. In practical terms, it is not an open competition. It is a targeted invitation intended to keep an existing, previously approved project moving forward with minimal changes, using a new cooperative agreement action that closely mirrors the earlier award.

Eligibility is narrow and straightforward: only applicants who received an official request from BJA are allowed to apply. The solicitation notes that BJA would have sent direct correspondence to the eligible organization with instructions on how to apply under this specific opportunity. If an organization did not receive that invitation, it is not considered eligible, even if it otherwise works in violence intervention, training, technical assistance, or related justice programs. The emphasis is on continuity of a specific prior grant award, not starting a new initiative or bringing in new partners through a competitive process.

The work to be funded is expected to remain consistent with the original solicitation under which the prior award was issued. The opportunity states that all program requirements and guidelines will follow what was laid out previously, meaning the project scope, purpose, and core deliverables are expected to stay essentially the same. The new project period and funding are described as being "substantially the same" as the prior project in scope, purpose, award amount, and performance period. This indicates that BJA is aiming to maintain stability in the training and technical assistance effort associated with CVIPI rather than redirecting or expanding the program into new areas.

From an administrative standpoint, the award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that BJA expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond standard grant monitoring. That can include ongoing coordination, collaboration on deliverables, participation in planning discussions, and alignment with BJA priorities for CVIPI training and technical assistance activities. The funding category is listed under law, justice, and legal services, with CFDA number 16.045, tying it to BJA's broader public safety assistance portfolio.

Key opportunity details include an opportunity number of O-BJA-2024-172096, an original closing date of June 3, 2024, and a creation date of May 15, 2024. The solicitation anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), with an award ceiling of $2,105,723. Taken together, those details reinforce that this is a highly specific continuation or adjustment action for one previously funded recipient rather than a multi-recipient competitive grant cycle.

Overall, this solicitation functions as a formal route for a previously funded CVIPI TTA project to continue under BJA oversight with largely unchanged goals, budget scale, and timeline. The central takeaway for any potential applicant is that participation depends entirely on having received BJA's direct invitation tied to a specific prior award, and that the application should be aligned with the original program framework rather than proposing a new or substantially revised project.
