Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2022 171298
The BJA FY 22 State and Local Anti-Terrorism Training (SLATT) Program Training and Technical Assistance opportunity is a U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) discretionary funding solicitation designed to strengthen the ability of state, local, and tribal law enforcement to identify, investigate, and disrupt both international and domestic terrorism threats, with a specific emphasis on the criminal domestic terrorism environment. The program centers on delivering practical, operationally relevant training and technical assistance to officers and agencies that are dealing with evolving terrorism-related risks, while also aligning this work with broader Office of Justice Programs (OJP) priorities such as protecting civil rights, advancing racial equity, increasing access to justice, supporting victims and justice-involved individuals, improving community safety, and building trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
This solicitation funds a training and technical assistance provider (or providers) to deliver critical and innovative TTA services under the SLATT framework. In practice, that means the selected recipient is expected to develop and deliver training content, tools, and direct assistance that help front-line personnel and investigators improve detection, information gathering, case development, interdiction strategies, and collaboration approaches related to terrorism. The focus on “criminal domestic terrorism threat” signals that the funded work should help agencies understand and respond to domestic threat dynamics, including how indicators emerge, how investigations can be run effectively and lawfully, and how to incorporate intelligence, partnerships, and community-facing considerations without undermining constitutional protections or community trust.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement during the project period. Rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back, BJA commonly works closely with the awardee on planning, deliverables, performance measures, coordination with other federal efforts, and ensuring the training and technical assistance meets national needs and standards. The funding opportunity number is O-BJA-2022-171298, and the associated CFDA number listed is 16.614, reflecting BJA’s terrorism prevention and related support programming.
Eligibility is broad and includes federally recognized Native American tribal governments, other Native American tribal organizations, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities, excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories), private institutions of higher education, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, along with other eligible entities as clarified in the solicitation’s eligibility section. BJA anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $2,000,000, suggesting a single lead organization would be responsible for nationwide or multi-jurisdictional training and technical assistance delivery at scale.
Key administrative details from the notice show the opportunity was created on May 2, 2022, with an original application closing date of June 10, 2022. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a capacity-building investment: BJA sought a qualified organization to provide high-impact, modern training and hands-on technical support that improves terrorism-related law enforcement readiness while reinforcing OJP’s parallel commitments to lawful, equitable, and community-trust-oriented public safety practices.Apply for O BJA 2022 171298
