AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: There are two categories of funding available through this solicitation.    Category 1: Tribal Sites.

Recipient organizations must agree to forgo any profit or management fee should they receive an award.

The lead applicant must be the entity with primary responsibility for administering the funding and managing the entire program.

OJJDP may elect to make awards for applications submitted under this solicitation in future fiscal years, dependent on, among other considerations, the merit of the applications and on the availability of appropriations. OJJDP may also elect to provide supplemental funding to successful applicants in both categories, dependent on performance, intended use of funds, and the availability of appropriations.
