Opportunity Information: Apply for BJA 2017 13100
The BJA FY 17 State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial Information Sharing and Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Technical Assistance Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), created to strengthen how state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) partners develop and sustain intelligence and analytic capabilities. The program is rooted in a long-running collaboration between DOJ and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Intelligence and Analysis, alongside the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the FBI, and practitioner-driven bodies such as the Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative and the Criminal Intelligence Coordinating Council. The basic idea is to keep building on a proven consortium model that uses practical, targeted support to help frontline agencies and fusion centers improve the way they collect, analyze, and share information in line with national policy and doctrine.
At its core, the grant funds training and technical assistance (TTA) activities rather than direct operational enforcement. The supported work includes workshops, seminars, peer exchanges, and hands-on technical assistance designed to improve SLTT capability and capacity. These activities are intended to align SLTT practices with established national frameworks such as the National Strategy for Information Sharing (NSIS), the Fusion Center Guidelines, and the Baseline Capabilities for State and Major Urban Area Fusion Centers. In practice, that means helping agencies and fusion centers adopt consistent processes for information sharing, improve analytic tradecraft and governance, and strengthen collaboration across jurisdictional boundaries so that relevant information moves to the right people faster and in a more usable form.
A major emphasis of the opportunity is advancing standardized information sharing practices and strengthening the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) Initiative (NSI). The NSI focus reflects an effort to help SLTT partners identify, document, vet, and share suspicious activity information in a consistent way that supports threat detection and prevention while fitting within the national information sharing environment. In addition to SAR, the program explicitly highlights the identification and sharing of SLTT information more broadly, as well as the exchange of promising practices and lessons learned, signaling that the grant is meant to spread what works across agencies and regions rather than leaving improvements isolated in a few high-capacity jurisdictions.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number BJA-2017-13100 and CFDA 16.614. It is a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) in the discretionary category, with an award ceiling of $400,000 and an expectation of two total awards. The posting was created on July 18, 2017, with an original closing date of August 17, 2017. Eligible applicants were broad and included independent school districts; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education); private institutions of higher education; individuals; and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. Taken together, the eligibility list suggests BJA was looking for qualified providers capable of delivering TTA at scale, including nonprofits, private entities, and other organizations with specialized expertise in information sharing, fusion center support, and SAR-related training and implementation assistance.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a capacity-building and standardization effort: it supports the continuation and expansion of a DOJ-DHS-led technical assistance ecosystem that helps SLTT partners improve intelligence and analytic functions, strengthen fusion center-related capabilities, and mature suspicious activity reporting practices nationwide, all while staying aligned with national policies and doctrine.Apply for BJA 2017 13100
