Description
This opportunity, administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), is designed to streamline and improve the Department of Justice's (DOJ) grant-making process for tribal governments. The Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS) combines multiple tribal-specific competitive funding opportunities into a single application, allowing federally recognized tribes and tribal consortia to address a wide range of public safety, criminal and juvenile justice, substance use, and victimization issues. Applicants can select from various "purpose areas" (PAs) to target specific needs such as law enforcement, courts, treatment, and services for victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking. The program encourages comprehensive, locally tailored project designs.
