About this opportunity
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), under the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs, is seeking cooperative agreement applications to provide training and technical assistance services to support the six Regional Information Sharing Systems (RISS) Centers and the RISS Technology Support Center. This funding opportunity is restricted to invited applicants and aims to enhance multi-jurisdictional information sharing and intelligence collaboration among federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial criminal justice agencies. Applicants must demonstrate expertise in providing specialized training and technical assistance that strengthens the infrastructure supporting secure information sharing platforms, criminal intelligence analysis, and investigative case support services. The selection process will include eligibility and responsiveness review, merit evaluation, programmatic assessment, budget analysis, and risk review, with final award decisions made by the Assistant Attorney General. The application deadline is May 6, 2026, with a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) providing detailed selection criteria and specific requirements.
Historical RISS program awards range from approximately $500,000 to $7 million for training and technical assistance cooperative agreements, though specific budget information for this FY2025 opportunity has not been detailed in the notice. Award periods are set for 12 months with potential no-cost extensions available if criteria are met, and all records related to the award must be retained for three years from the final expenditure report submission. The places of performance will be distributed across the six regional RISS jurisdictions—Mid-States, Middle Atlantic-Great Lakes, Rocky Mountain, Regional Organized Crime Information Center, New England, and Western States—reflecting the nationwide scope of supported law enforcement operations targeting violent crime, gang activity, narcotics trafficking, terrorism, and organized crime.
