What the grant funds
CTAS combines many of the Department of Justice's (DOJ's) existing tribal government-specific competitive solicitations into a single solicitation requiring only one application from each tribe or tribal consortium. This approach reduces the number of applications required to access funds and provides federally recognized tribes, tribal consortia, and tribal designees the opportunity to develop a comprehensive approach to public safety and victimization issues. Note: CTAS is not a program but a single solicitation under which tribes can apply to seven separate grant programs from four grant-making offices. DOJ has incorporated feedback from tribes and made the following changes to CTAS for FY 2022: Applications to CTAS will continue to be completed and submitted through Grants.gov and the Justice Grants system, JustGrants. Information on this process is outlined in section H. How to Apply. Purpose Area 9 has added a new category. Proposal abstracts will be completed in the JustGrants web-based form. Each tribe or tribal consortium may submit only one CTAS application. This application can include proposals for project funding under one or more purpose areas. As such, multiple awards may be made in response to a single application. In addition to applying for FY 2022 CTAS funding, federally recognized tribes and tribal consortia are encouraged to submit separate applications to any DOJ grant program for which they may be eligible. For information on additional funding sources, visit www.grants.gov and the websites of individual federal agencies. The Department of Justice is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights, increases access to justice, supports crime victims, protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. For all Fiscal Year 2022 solicitations, applicants should consider these priorities, and address them within their applications as applicable. The four DOJ components offering tribal government-specific grants through CTAS are listed below. For more information, visit www.justice.gov/tribal/.
