Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2023 171817
The FY23 Invited Applications - Regional Information Sharing Systems (RISS) opportunity is a Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), Office of Justice Programs (OJP) discretionary funding solicitation that supports the Regional Information Sharing Systems Program, a long-running initiative focused on improving law enforcement and criminal justice information sharing across jurisdictions. The program is framed within OJP priorities that emphasize protecting civil rights and advancing racial equity, expanding access to justice, supporting crime victims and people impacted by the justice system, strengthening community safety, addressing evolving crime threats, and building trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. In practical terms, the grant is aimed at helping participating RISS projects continue or carry out approved activities that enhance multi-agency collaboration, intelligence and information exchange, and coordinated responses to criminal activity that crosses local, state, tribal, and regional boundaries.
This particular solicitation is not open to the general public. It is explicitly limited to organizations that received an invitation letter from BJA to apply, meaning only those invited applicants are eligible to submit an application under this funding announcement. The solicitation also notes that the guidelines and funding rules remain the same as those that applied to the originally funded project, which signals that this is essentially a continuation or invited extension within an established program structure rather than a broad, competitive open call with newly defined program requirements. The funding instrument used is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that DOJ expects substantial involvement in the funded work beyond what is typical for a standard grant, such as ongoing coordination, oversight, or collaboration on deliverables and program direction.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number O-BJA-2023-171817 and is categorized under Law, Justice and Legal Services, with CFDA number 16.610. It was created on June 30, 2023, and had an original closing date of July 6, 2023, reflecting a short submission window consistent with an invited-only process. BJA anticipated making seven awards, and the listed award ceiling is $10,486,205, which suggests that individual awards could be substantial depending on how funds are allocated among the invited applicants and the scope of each regional system's approved work plan.
The statutory authority for the RISS Program is grounded in federal law, specifically Part M of Title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (Public Law 90-351), Title I, Section 1301, codified at 34 U.S.C. 10321, along with appropriations provided through the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-328). These authorities collectively provide the legal basis for DOJ to fund and oversee the program. Overall, the opportunity functions as a targeted, invitation-only funding mechanism to sustain or implement previously approved RISS activities under established rules, while aligning program execution with OJP's broader public-safety, equity, and justice priorities.Apply for O BJA 2023 171817
