About this opportunity
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), under the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs, seeks applications to establish and expand Crime Gun Intelligence Centers (CGICs) that address firearm-related crime through intelligence sharing and technology integration. This initiative, conducted in partnership with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), will assist local law enforcement in identifying crime guns, tracing their sources, and effectively prosecuting offenders. Eligible applicants include city, county, and state governments, federally and non-federally recognized tribal governments, special district governments, and other designated entity types. Applications will be evaluated based on eligibility, responsiveness, merit, programmatic soundness, budget reasonableness, and organizational risk factors as detailed in the Notice of Funding Opportunity. The application deadline is March 30, 2026, with awards ultimately determined by the Assistant Attorney General.
While specific award amounts and ranges are not detailed in this opportunity announcement, applicants should anticipate typical performance periods of two to three years based on the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (CFDA 16.738) under which this opportunity is funded. Historical awards under this program have ranged from approximately $14,000 to $374,557, though cooperative agreements for national initiatives have reached substantially higher amounts. Performance of funded activities will be conducted at state, local, and tribal jurisdictions nationwide, with all applicant entities required to retain records for three years from submission of the final expenditure report and comply with applicable federal audit and administrative requirements.
