Criminal Justice – Part D Formula Grants

The Department of Justice has not awarded grants under Criminal Justice Part D Formula Grants (CFDA 16.530) since January 1, 2003 — nearly 24 years ago. The program is effectively inactive for the purposes of business development evaluation and should not be pursued.

The program historically funded grants to encourage arrest policies and enforcement of protection orders, activities aimed at strengthening law enforcement response to domestic violence. Between 1997 and 2003, the Department of Justice obligated $53.4 million across 124 awards, with award activity concentrated in 2002 (40 awards). The assistance-type mix was predominantly Project Grants (92 percent of awards, 114 total) with a smaller share of Cooperative Agreements (8 percent, 10 awards). Recent awards in 2002 and early 2003 ranged in magnitude from approximately $91 thousand to $905 thousand for Project Grants, and from approximately $535 thousand to $900 thousand for Cooperative Agreements. Representative awards included Cooperative Agreement 1999WEVXK008, which obligated $3.58 million, and Cooperative Agreement 1999WEVXK009, which obligated $2.5 million.

The source contains no record of grant opportunities posted recently or currently open under this Assistance Listing. The last three awards date to January 2003, with no funding activity documented after that point. The program appears to have been succeeded or consolidated into other domestic-violence or law-enforcement grant initiatives; no active solicitation data supports continued availability.
