## Who can apply

- Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)

The following entities are eligible to apply: National organizations, defined as organizations that have active affiliates or subawardees in at least 45 states. For the purposes of this solicitation, two or more independent organizations that form a collaborative to meet the 45-state requirement do not satisfy OJJDP’s definition of a national organization. The organization’s national headquarters must submit the application. OJJDP encourages applicants to minimize their administrative costs in an effort to subaward at least 90 percent of this award to active affiliates or subrecipients, located in at least 38 states, while at the same time allowing for effective subrecipient oversight. If the requested award amount is reduced upon award, OJJDP will work with the grantee to determine the appropriate number of states required to subaward funds that match the total award amount. To advance Executive Order 13929 Safe Policing for Safe Communities, the Attorney General determined that all state, local, and university or college law enforcement agencies must be certified by an approved independent credentialing body or have started the certification process, to be eligible for FY 2022 DOJ discretionary grant funding. To become certified, the law enforcement agency must meet two mandatory conditions: (1) the agency’s use-of-force policies adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and (2) the agency’s use-of-force policies prohibit chokeholds except in situations where use of deadly force is allowed by law. The certification requirement also applies to law enforcement agencies receiving DOJ discretionary grant funding through a subaward. For detailed information on this certification requirement, please visit https://cops.usdoj.gov/SafePolicingEO to access the Standards for Certification on Safe Policing for Safe Communities, the Implementation Fact Sheet, and the List of Designated Independent Credentialing Bodies. All recipients and subrecipients (including any for-profit organization) must forgo any profit or management fee. Eligible applicants must provide mentoring services to youth who are 17 years old or younger at the time of admission to the program.
