Agency Solicitation:
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) seeks applications for formula funding under the Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program (Byrne SCIP). Byrne SCIP provides funding for the creation and/or implementation of extreme risk protection order (ERPO) programs, state crisis intervention court proceedings, and related programs/initiatives. This program furthers DOJ’s mission by assisting state, local, and tribal efforts to prevent or reduce crime and violence, with a particular focus on gun violence and the programs and initiatives that target the risk factors that are likely to lead to this kind of violence.
Additional Notes:
Consistent with the Bipartisan Safer Communities Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022, Byrne SCIP funds will be “awarded pursuant to the formula allocation (adjusted in proportion to the relative amounts statutorily designated therefor) that was used in the fiscal year prior to the year for which funds are provided for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program.” Therefore, allocations for FY 2024 Byrne SCIP are based on the FY 2023 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program.
