Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2025 172345

The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) is offering a targeted FY25 funding opportunity titled "BJA FY25 Invited to Apply- Administrative Funding Adjustment 2" (Funding Opportunity Number: O-BJA-2025-172345). This is not an open, competitive solicitation. Instead, it is an invitation-only action meant for specific organizations that have already received an official request from BJA to submit an application. The intent is to provide continued support for particular work that was funded under a prior BJA grant award, with the new funding essentially extending or maintaining that previously approved effort rather than launching a new initiative.

This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means BJA expects to have substantial involvement in the funded project during the period of performance. The program area falls under Law, Justice and Legal Services, and it is associated with CFDA numbers 16.054 and 16.738. Eligible applicants are listed as "Others," but in practical terms the eligible entities are those that BJA has directly invited to apply. If an organization did not receive a formal invitation from BJA, it should assume it is not eligible to submit an application under this specific posting.

A key feature of the opportunity is continuity. BJA indicates that all program requirements will follow the guidelines in the original Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) under which the earlier funding was awarded. In other words, applicants should expect to operate under the same core rules, expectations, and program design that governed the original project. BJA also notes that the scope, purpose, award amount, and performance period for the new project will be substantially the same as the prior award, reinforcing that this is an administrative funding adjustment intended to keep ongoing work on track rather than materially change its direction.

The opportunity was created on January 16, 2025, with an original application closing date of January 23, 2025, indicating a short turnaround consistent with an invited, administrative continuation process. The award ceiling is listed as $3,982,693, and BJA expects to make two awards. In practice, that ceiling represents the maximum anticipated amount for an award under this opportunity, and actual award amounts would be expected to align closely with the prior project funding levels since BJA states the new award will be substantially similar to the previous one.

Overall, this grant posting functions as an administrative mechanism for BJA to continue or adjust funding for selected existing projects, ensuring that previously funded justice-related work can proceed under the same general framework and expectations established in the original NOFO, with participation limited to entities expressly invited by BJA.
