The full application is due in JustGrants by October 13, 2026, at 8:59 p.m. ET. The opportunity record lists a November 6, 2026 due date, but both NOFO deadlines precede today, so confirm the live deadline in the portal before pursuit.

The program totals $143.5 million across 56 anticipated awards, with awards up to $16.0 million per state. The award period is 36 months beginning October 1, 2026. Direct administrative costs are capped at 10 percent of the total award, and recipients must forgo profit or management fees. Unallowable costs include direct administrative expenses above the cap, prizes, stipends, gift cards, food and beverage, ERPO public awareness campaigns, and any costs that violate federal immigration or civil rights law.

Eligible activities include law enforcement crisis intervention training, court-based programming, referrals to behavioral health services, crisis call centers, and ERPO-related training. The NOFO is authorized by the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act of 2022 and is assigned to CFDA 16.738, the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program.
