The opportunity aims to strengthen Honduras' capacity to manage seized evidence in a secure, transparent, and standardized manner to reduce vulnerabilities exploited by transnational criminal organizations. The Criminal Justice Systems program funds initiatives strengthening law enforcement, judicial systems, and criminal justice institutions in partner countries through activities including law enforcement training, legal skills instruction, institutional capacity-building, anti-corruption initiatives, and technical assistance in evidence handling and prosecutorial effectiveness. Recent awards under this program have ranged from several hundred dollars to over $2.4 million, with performance periods typically spanning 12-36 months across Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe.

Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, higher education institutions, and non-profit entities. Recipients must maintain financial records for three years and comply with federal audit requirements under 2 CFR Subpart F. The open-source templates provided in this file are designed to facilitate application development for grant opportunities within the Criminal Justice Systems program, with active solicitations seeking cooperative agreement and grant applications for projects ranging in value from approximately $35,000 for limited-scope assessments to $4 million for comprehensive multi-country programs. Application deadlines span from March through August 2025, with projected project start dates beginning in mid-2025.
