1. BASIC INFORMATION

Purpose of the Funding

This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the OJP FY 2026 Special Attorneys

Program. This program will support state, local, Tribal, and territorial prosecuting agencies to assign or hire qualified prosecutors to serve full-time or part-time (on a case-by-case basis) as Special Attorneys under the direction of the National Fraud Enforcement Division or the Criminal Division, or to serve as Special Assistant United States Attorneys (SAUSAs) within a United States Attorney’s Office. Funds under this program can also be used to hire criminal investigators, as well as analysts, forensic accountants, and other staff who help with collection or analysis of law enforcement investigative information, to provide further investigative support.

These “cross-designated” prosecutors, criminal investigators, and other investigative support staff will remain employees of their home agencies but will investigate and prosecute assigned fraud and other crimes committed by aliens within the United States (hereafter referred to as “criminal aliens”) for the duration of their appointment under this program. Cross-designated prosecutors, criminal investigators, and other investigative support staff may also be assigned cases involving drug or human trafficking committed within the United States. The National Fraud Enforcement Division, Criminal Division, and United States Attorney’s Offices will coordinate with selected prosecutor offices on a case-by-case basis to address logistics and any unique local circumstances.

This grant program, authorized under Public Law 119-21, Title X, Subtitle A, Part II, Section 100055 (codified at 34 U.S.C. § 61101), is intended to improve the collection and analysis of law enforcement investigative information, strengthen investigative and prosecutorial capacity, expand intergovernmental coordination, and enhance the ability of jurisdictions to counter gang or other criminal activity, investigate and prosecute fraud and other crimes committed by aliens within the United States, as well as investigate and prosecute drug and human trafficking crimes. The program is also intended to increase the availability of cross-designated prosecutorial personnel who can pursue these matters in coordination with federal authorities and contribute to the effective enforcement of applicable criminal laws.

Funding under this program can be used to pay 100 percent of salary and fringe benefits for assigned Special Attorneys, SAUSAs, criminal investigators, and other investigative support staff. To support participating jurisdictions, up to 20 percent in additional funding (beyond salary and benefits) may be requested for the following allowable uses:

• Justice System Staffing and Capacity: Support hiring, retention, and training of critical personnel across the full continuum of criminal justice operations to ensure that jurisdictions have the personnel and operational capacity necessary to investigate and prosecute crimes committed by criminal aliens, detain

U.S. Department of Justice | OJP | BJA | 3 offenders, and carry out related public safety functions in coordination with federal authorities.

• Equipment and Technology Purchase: Purchase and support multiyear implementation, ongoing subscriptions, training, and maintenance of equipment and advanced technology to enhance capacity to locate and apprehend criminal illegal aliens; investigate and prosecute crimes committed by illegal aliens;

counter gang and criminal activity, including drug and human trafficking operations; coordinate with federal immigration enforcement partners; and strengthen multijurisdictional responses to transnational criminal organizations threatening American communities.

Applicants will need to describe in their narrative if and how they plan to use a percentage of their award funding (up to the maximum 20 percent allowable) for the purposes listed above.
