Current and Upcoming Funding Opportunities

Most BJA funds are awarded through BJA formula programs. Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program funds are awarded directly to state and local governments. For more information on how a state intends to distribute formula grant funds, contact the appropriate State Administering Agency (SAA).

Other OJP bureaus and program offices also offer funding opportunities to improve criminal justice systems and services for crime victims. Visit the OJP grants and funding page for a list of open grant programs. For a general overview of OJP, go to the OJP Resource Guide.

In addition, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) offers funding to advance community policing services. Visit the COPS Current Funding Opportunities page for a list of grant programs.
