Funding Amounts: Reference manual for OCJP-administered awards, not a funding offer

Description
The OCJP Grants Manual is a reference for staff of organizations receiving grant funds administered by the Tennessee Office of Criminal Justice Programs, within the Department of Finance and Administration. It explains the financial and programmatic responsibilities of funded projects, including pre-award eligibility, accounting, certifications, and award administration. It is not a standalone grant opportunity and does not itself offer funding for a particular research or service project.
For federally funded awards, subrecipients must follow the applicable federal rules, DOJ Grants Financial Guide, OMB Uniform Guidance, and compliance supplements associated with their award. OCJP publishes individual funding opportunities separately through its Grant Applications webpage and TN Grants. Applicants should use the relevant solicitation and Fund Source Chapter alongside the manual to determine whether their organization and proposed activities qualify.
