FULL DESCRIPTION:

Tribes are eligible to apply for many funding opportunities that are not tribal specific and not included in the Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS). The Accessing BJA Discretionary Grants for Tribes Workshop is designed to provide applicants from tribal communities with tools and guidance that may assist the tribe’s efforts to access BJA’s non-CTAS grant funding and other resources to improve their justice systems.

This workshop will cover the proposal and application process and offers tips to avoid common mistakes.

Topics addressed during the workshop include:

Reviewing a solicitation
Formatting a grant narrative
Preparing an application checklist and building a writing team
Addressing application components
Creating a budget
Writing goals, objectives, and deliverables/tasks
Identifying community strengths and resource mapping
Demonstrating capabilities and competencies

Upon completion of this workshop, attendees will be able to create a project design that includes goals, objectives, and tasks needed to achieve submission of a successful proposal for many of BJA’s grant funding opportunities.

Registration deadline: November 29, 2024. Applicants will receive notification of their application status by December 13, 2024.
